Memories...
Feb. 16th, 2014 02:44 pmPhobias may be memories passed down in genes
Personally? I buy it, and a NOVA feature also suggested nightmares could be genetic as well. According to the study, when children have bad dreams, they usually involve animals; as they grow up, they end up being more along the lines of "modern' problems. I know I used to have dreams about dogs chasing me, even though I never had any remote fear of dogs. (Although the NOVA feature didn't suggest they were memories so much as primal "warnings", a way to sort of help prepare us for what could happen.)

Genealogy/Family History poll
Oct. 20th, 2013 10:03 amYou don't have to be remotely interested in genealogy or family history to take this poll. In fact, if you're not, I'd love to hear from you. Before I throw it at you, let me explain the purpose; I'm trying to explore why some people are more interested in genealogy/family history/heritage than others, particularly when it comes to certain areas and age groups.
You can also stick to the comments (especially if you've clicked "other" at least once) or do both. There will probably be a corresponding LJ post about this. If anything's personal, feel free to PM me instead OR answer anonymously.

Wherefore art thou?

fernwithy discussed a show called Who Do You Think You Are?, a show about celebrities (the first one being Sarah Jessica Parker) seeking their ancestry. I gave it a try myself to see what she was talking about.( My thoughts... )
