The Wikipedia page is very short: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_memory_(psychology)
And it refers to a Lamarckian process? The linked article is a little bit woolly. Are there any known studies definitively showing that genetic memory is encoded in DNA? What can be encoded? How much?

I’ve spoke about something like this before. I remember seeing these little lizards who as soon as they begin life (hatch from buried eggs) come out running like hell from predators they know from the first second of life are waiting there for them on ground level.
I do believe we are preserved in ways thru our family line, and I feel this is how evolution would work. We evolve from all the built up info. in millions of years it would have big effects.
Another wierd thing, and I don’t expect anyone to believe this, but I appear to have vague memories of my great grandfather on my mothers side (she is adopted) whom I never knew. He was a very evil man. The only information found on him later was things I spoke of as a kid, like how he was irish and dutch descent, and a racist, abusive alcoholic who beat his wife, and his only son was just like his father, had like 6 kids and beat the crap outta them.
I have my own internal darkness I can’t fully understand which I am sure relates to him.
But unlike him, I am a loving person who dreams of raising a family and giving them all the love and support I never had…
