How the memories of living beings are passed on to their offspring

Memories are not carried in DNA!

Genes are innate, while memories are acquired, so genes cannot carry memories. However, genes can carry character.

It's just an innate instinct, just like you're born to eat.

Genes are made up of atoms, and if you have to say that DNA carries them, then they are arranged differently.

The memory of distant ancestors is passed on to their offspring by teaching them the accumulated knowledge and experience to their offspring, which can be called a learned act, rather than being passed down by DNA.

DNA doesn't inherit memory! DNA is a genetic gene that can be passed on to offspring through RNA replication, and it controls certain fixed traits in an organism, and it is not a memory, and most memories are learned from the parents!

This is the mystery of biology.

The reasons are as follows: 1. The inheritance of memory is not an exact reproduction of individual human memory.

2. The inheritance of memory has the characteristics of attenuation. In the process of inheritance, memories must gradually decay, become blurred, or even disappear in some way. After each generation of inheritance, memory is like a signal passing through a "filter", removing some of the "high-frequency components" that express precise details.

After multiple generations of inheritance, the "frequency component" of memory becomes less and less, and finally becomes a "DC component" without fluctuations, which no longer carries any useful information. And we have no way to detect the traces of the previous generation in the inherited memory.

There was a man named Desmond, whose ancestor was an Assassin, and then he was captured by the Templars, the descendants of his ancestors' enemies, and entered a machine, explored ancestral memories, and then found the relics left by the gods, and the Templars wanted to use these things to control the world's humans, and the Assassins fought to the end.

Memory is biologically speaking, it is some structure of the synapses inside the human brain. Of course it's very complicated. Genes are DNA substances that carry genetic information and mainly guide the synthesis of proteins and peptides.

Logically, it is difficult to think that genes are capable of carrying memories. However, there are three facts that predispose me to the idea that some of the instincts of living beings, that is, some of the cognitions and abilities that are born with them, are probably indeed carried by genes.

First, caterpillars form cocoons on their own, and they have no chance of learning from them. Human babies also have a range of instinctive reflexes.

Second, modern DNA decoding technology has enabled us to understand how genes guide the formation of various proteins in living organisms. However, how these proteins can be precisely packed into complex and consistent organs and organisms. And it didn't work out completely.

For example, the shape of the macroscopic sulcus gyrus of a normal human brain is exactly the same (the curvature and depth vary slightly from person to person). How is this configuration genetically carried?

Third, since the sulcus configuration is the same for all people, there is a possibility that if the brain is a neural network, its initial state can be inherited.

Of course, this question is far beyond current human understanding, so there is no definite answer.

But I strongly believe that there is something in our brains that can be inherited, but we don't know the mechanism yet.

The characteristics of cuckoo birds, but humans do not.

Variation refers to the difference between offspring and parents, and the phenomenon of difference between offspring individuals According to whether the variation is beneficial to the organism, it is divided into favorable mutation and unfavorable mutation Favorable mutation is beneficial to the survival of the organism, and unfavorable mutation is unfavorable to the survival of the organism According to the cause of the mutation, it can be divided into heritable mutation and non-heritable mutation Heritable mutation is caused by changes in genetic material and can be passed on to offspring; Variations caused by environmental changes are non-inherited variations that cannot be passed on to future generations. Therefore, choose B

The genetic memory theory is a hypothesis proposed by Carl Jung to explain the memory of populations. In analytical psychology, the population memory hypothesis refers to the idea that the ancestors of a population can pass on memories, feelings, and thoughts to their offspring through the "group unconscious"1.

It was later developed by the British human and psychologist Rober Rahnaf Marett, one of the representatives of the classical evolutionary school. The most basic theoretical orientation of the classical evolutionary school is to explain the differences in human society from an evolutionary point of view, and for the first time put forward "pre-animism")2 further developed. Since then, the issue has been hotly debated.

In the simplest terms, this theory holds that the genetic mechanism controls the inheritance of all physical traits, but it is not limited to controlling the inheritance of physical traits. The behavior of lower animals is also genetically determined, and their complex behaviors are innate and do not need to be learned. However, the behavior of higher animals is highly variable and requires learning and memory.

The question is whether the psychological mechanisms of higher animals, especially humans and apes, are born through genetic factors. Modern genetics has disproved the traditional theory of "memory inheritance", that memories, feelings, and thoughts can enter the DNA of genetic material and be passed on to the next generation3.

On the other hand, recent research results show that certain experiences of the parent in mice affect the regulation of gene expression in the offspring (which is the category of gene expression regulation, and the DNA code of the genetic material of the gene itself remains unchanged). This result suggests that the epigenetic pathway experienced by the parent can be a useful complement to the principle of genetic centrity, but the explanation of this result must be discussed from a rigorous academic perspective, and this phenomenon is neither controlled by subjective volition, nor can it be used as evidence that "memories", "feelings" and "thoughts" are heritable.
