Genetic Memory

How do you know to rest when you are tired? How do you know to eat when you are hungry or drink when you are thirsty? These instinctive behaviors that we take for granted have been carried down to us biologically for generations.

Through evolution, our genes carry important information to be remembered for survival. Our instincts are also part of memory, a memory passed on to us at birth. This genetic information is passed down through our DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid).

Animals also have genetic memory.
