Indeed, I recently watched a documentary about heart transplant patients who begin to experience 'memories' of the heart donor (developing a liking for the foods the donor liked, suddenly taking an interest in the instrument the donor played etc.).

I really don't think it is such a stretch to believe that within our DNA there are memories of likes, dislikes, or even the emotional responses to various events, that we have inherited from our forebears. Is this not what we would call "instinct" in the animal kingdom?
