Do we have primal memories?

[Disaffected]

4. We all have primal instincts,

would be the explanation of your reaction to the snake odor.

However there is no evidence of primal memory if one defines that as memories getting passed on from ancestor to offspring.

When I was a kid, I recall stories of infants who began speaking a foreign language without having had any exposure to that language. It was sometimes attributed to a relative having spoken that language which ability was passed on as genetic material at conception.
