morphic resonance
Morphic resonance is a concept proposed by biologist Rupert Sheldrake that suggests that natural systems, such as animals and plants, inherit a collective memory from their ancestors. This means that the behaviors and forms of organisms are influenced by the experiences of previous generations, creating a kind of shared knowledge that shapes development and behavior.
According to this theory, when a species learns a new behavior, it becomes easier for others of the same species to learn it in the future, even if they are not directly connected. This idea challenges traditional views of biology and evolution, suggesting a deeper connection among living organisms.
