Do we have primal memories? [View all]

[Baitball Blogger]

I ask, because I remember as a child walking into an enclosed area, where I was assaulted by a very strong snake musky odor. It stoked every nerve in my body and sent signals to my brain of imminent danger. The thing is, I never knew the scent before, nor that it was attributed to snakes, but my body seemed to have a long forgotten memory.

So, is it possible that through the centuries, there are some memories that get passed on from one generation to another?

Oh, in case anyone was wondering, I backed out slowly and never went to the place again.
