GENETIC MEMORY OF THE CAZADORES; a science fiction novel by J. Walker Reed.
Recently discovered “mirror neurons” found in the brain enable us to identify the neurological processes that allow us to imitate, copy, and empathize with others. This maybe why humans read books, watch movies and sports, and are spellbound by a variety of entertainment.
Long-term memory is a copy, mirror image, response, or behavior pattern transferred to the next generation of memory cells. What if the proteomic instructions of the specialized mirror neuron, similar to DNA, containing the imbedded memory of an ancestor, could be transferred to a long line of descendants? Anecdotal access to inherited memory has been historically and culturally identified as deja vu, mystical or religious visions, child prodigies, creative thought, vivid dreams, and even the monster within.
Genetic Memory of the Cazadores is a science fiction story of future discovery of “genetic memory”. The story begins with a paradigm shift that combines cutting edge scientific discovery, history, scalar super computers and very human characters living in the near future. Rediscover the origination of human consciousness and the first use of cultural symbolism and deities to overcome death. Relive the discovery of agriculture, mastery of the horse, smelting of bronze, and the creation of the first city-states. Explore a plausible future that combines science, history, technology and the humanity of those living in the near future as they confront a possible evolution of the human species.
In this fascinating story the author enables the reader to witness seminal moments in human history as recorded in the “genetic memories” of individuals whose ancestors actually were present at these events. In parallel, he provides a dramatic but plausible account of possible near future developments in computer science and in our growing understanding of brain function that enable certain of the characters to access these ancestral memories. The interweaving of these two story lines makes the reading experience both gripping and intellectually stimulating.
