The Extension of Life Through Memory

The human brain can hold far more information than one lifetime of memories and skills produces-but why? Such extensive, and apparently redundant, memory space has no reason to exist, at least according to Darwin's much-contested theory of evolution.

Darwin is wrong. We have a vast capacity for memory, suggestive of two possibilities-that we can pass inherited memories down through the generations and that someone or something designed us to do so.

By passing memories to our children, we attain a type of immortality. Our memories continue to exist past death, guiding and influencing our descendants. Consider the brains of savants, who demonstrate amazing talents they could not have learned, or the subtle differences in the brains of geniuses, which may give them access to memories implanted by the beings who created humanity.

The Extension of Life through Memory explores the uncharted waters of human memory and the intriguing notion beings of greater intellect than our own imprinted us with valuable information. Without such intervention, how could the intellectual giants of the past display such insight into the workings of the universe? We were made by those who visited earth and who may yet return.
