This topic just makes the study of the human mind even more intriguing. The brain itself is so complex being both a storage and source of information, that having this "area of genius" makes it an even more engaging field for study and observation.

BBC describes it this way, "At the heart of this new field is a simple but contentious idea - that genes have a 'memory'. That the lives of your grandparents – the air they breathed, the food they ate, even the things they saw – can directly affect you, decades later, despite your never experiencing these things yourself. And that what you do in your lifetime could in turn affect your grandchildren."

But with these genius savants, did scientists the least trace their genealogy?

In the field of psychology, genetic memory actually exists at birth however with the absence of any related sensory experience, and over time gets incorporated in our genomes. It is also observed to be associated by the term racial memory which was first described by Carl Jung. He stated that racial memories are like memories, ideas, and feelings passed down from our ancestors being a part of the "collective unconscious".

At a similar stance, there is also the term Deja vu. It means "already seen" in French and is a phenomenon where strong sensations are felt during an experience or event which may somehow be related to the past. The thing is, in deja vu, it may have happened or not at all. According to Edward Titchener a psychologist who wrote A Textbook of Psychology in 1928, deja vu is having a short glimpse of a situation or object before the mind has completed the forming of a full and conscious perception of such an experience.

As Oscar Wilde puts it, “Memory... is the diary that we all carry about with us.” Only what’s extra mysterious is that, for some, those memories didn’t necessarily happen in their lifetime.
