One of the reasons I am impressed by the Pekingese dog breed is that they 
have one of the longest ancestral store of racial memories for a pet 
developed by humans .... similarly
Arabian horses, and Koi fish do also. Koi have lived to be 265 years old. I 
feel I have an awesome racial memory. One I was equipped with at birth, and 
it even included future memory for my life time and my children's...

racial memory
-noun Psychology .
feelings, patterns of thought, and fragments of experience that have been 
transmitted from generation to generation in all humans and have deeply 
influenced the mind and behavior.

In psychology, genetic memory is a memory present at birth that exists in 
the absence of sensory experience, and is incorporated into the genome over 
long spans of time. It is based on the idea that common experiences of a 
species become incorporated into its genetic code, not by a Lamarckian 
process that encodes specific memories but by a much vaguer tendency to 
encode a readiness to respond in certain ways to certain stimuli. It is 
invoked to explain the racial memory postulated by Carl Jung, and 
differentiated from cultural memory, which is the retention of habits, 
customs, myths, and artifacts of social groups. The latter postdates genetic 
memory in the evolution of the human species, only coming into being with 
the development of language, and thus the possibility of the transmission of 
experience. Racial memory is a concept in Jungian psychology. Racial 
memories are posited memories, feelings and ideas inherited from our 
ancestors as part of a "collective unconscious".
Language, in the modern view, is considered to be only a partial product of 
genetic memory. The fact that humans can have languages is a property of the 
nervous system that is present at birth, and thus phylogenetic in character. 
However, perception of the particular set of phonemes specific to a native 
language only develops during ontogeny. There is no genetic predisposition 
towards the phonemic makeup of any single language. Children in a particular 
country are not genetically predisposed to speak the languages of that 
country, adding further weight to the assertion that genetic memory is not 
Lamarckian.
*****************
From my own life experience and access to my racial memory from multiracial 
ancestors, I personally believe that I do have extra sensory communication 
abilities that others have not inherited and also have ancient memories that 
are most valuable to me in my life. Intuition, instinct, and intelligence 
coupled with a vast inherited racial memory bank are some of the resources I 
value and use in my life. They are unique and individually mine and are not 
common to others.
