I believe passing on any acquired characteristics, from one generation to the next, is the thesis of Lamarckian evolution. I remember debating this issue with my childhood friend Bobby Herr and of course I was defending Lamarckian evolution and thought he was wrong-lol. Even today I cannot believe he understood the difference. We were only about 13. I always said Lamarckian evolution is the perfect example of something that is logical and wrong-lol. But maybe not so wrong. I have read other studies that showed acquired characteristics being passed on? Many scientists now believe the brain functions as a quantum computer e.g. Quantum Evolution by John Joe Macfaden a professor of of bio chemistry in Surrey England is one of my favorite books as it explains quantum physics better than most physics books. Many mysteries yet to be learned. <Message #391641 from bentway at 12/13/2018 10:32:45 AM If you read the article, they don't so much 'remember', as what they do is retain habits they'd developed to deal with a past event, teaching succeeding generations the habit, until newly devloped habits take their place.
