I agree.., life would be pretty boring if we knew the answers to everything. Genetic memory sounds pretty trippy :))

Yeah, a little mystery is good, it reminds us we'll never know everything. Yes, the more I read about genetic memory the more it fascinates me. I had the DNA test done at 23andMe.com a few years ago and it was mind-blowing. Among other things, we learned my paternal line immigrated to America from the British Isles in the 1600's. The weird thing was I've always been drawn to the English culture since my earliest memory. Genetic memory? Maybe. We discovered before they migrated to England our paternal line was of Ashkenazi Jewish heritage originating from North Africa. We traced our ancestors on paper as far back as the late-1400's when two Jewish brothers set sail on a pirate ship from Spain to Ireland, fleeing the Inquisition and eventually settling in Oxhill Parish in Warkwickshire. Fascinating and trippy indeed.
That is freakin' wild!
