Predictions

- scientists will soon accept the idea that skills and traits previously thought to be learned behavior in humans are actually genetic traits, hardwired into the nervous system. This will explain in significant measure, for example, why some people find it very easy to learn some skills, as if they were simply re-learning.

There are english words that I can not recall explicitly learning that I somehow 'know' the meaning of. True, in many cases word meaning can be derived from context in experienced users of a language. However, since I was a young boy, I've felt that my ability to pick up usage and meaning of vocabulary was a seamless process. It just kind of seems to 'happen'. I've long suspected that I came pre-wired for reading and writing english, specifically. Very difficult to prove, to be sure, but I am here predicting that soon in fact just such a notion will be advanced by genetic science.

Interestingly, this should also make plausible the currently fringe concept of 'past lives'. In the unfathomably gigantic realm of genetic variation, why shouldn't there prove to be some of us who have the ability to 'read' and/or interpret one's own genetic lineage. To 'remember' context and meaning. This would be altogether different from the idea of stored memories across 'souls'. It would be more like retaining pieces of the hard wired skills of one's ancestors.
