I can't remember where I read it, but I remember a similar study with rats. Previous generations were shocked when interacting with something specific. Current generations seemingly already knew not to interact with that object. I think they even expounded to study the effects on rats born within an entirely different locale too.
- trhway 3y agoas I don't believe in the genetic transfer, the only other way it seems to be is that the older rats would be telling youngsters a tale of "a shiny prongy thing which gives a painful scare on touch", and such possibility seems very fascinating for me.
