I have an unnatural fear of 400 meter long sandworms.

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

I have a pretty good understanding of my ancestors and what they did. I did not learn to shoot at home. My grand-dad was a crack shot. I am barely trained and if given any weapon and shown how to use it, I can hit marksman level almost immediately.
My mom's side were blacksmiths. Again I learned none of that at home. I was sent down to a steel fab shop to help out because an order we placed was delayed and they were short handed. I taught myself steel fabrication. I didn't think about it but I'd don't flinch when sparks hit me. I have a weird internal sense of the presence of Iron. I am always the one noticing and calling in bits of scrap in the road that might get a tire in the mine. I rarely buy steel I can always find some. My ancestors had to scrounge for it also.
My moms dad ran a dairy but also had a truck and tractor rig he earned his living with mostly. II ended up a heavy equipment operator.
Both my uncles on my mom's side can build a car from scratch. Anything, engine, body, whatever. So can I. I never learned from my uncles they lived elsewhere.
My granddad after the army started a finance company. I ended up doing collecting and working in finance and related areas...none of that was passed down by teaching.
I sometimes think we are the sum total of our ancestors efforts. I studied guitar, My boy could play with no lessons.

I have a lot of french from both my maternal and paternal sides.
vive la revolution!
So you use a lot of tongue?
It's perfectly obvious "lesser" animals have genetic memory. Insects, for example. Such as Monarch butterflies. It would be odd if we didn't.

Do you mean that you would like to see Laurelleciant move it to the playground?

sure, it make sense intuitively, people have speculated.
but has anyone ever attempted to prove it before?
I don't know what else would explain the ability of monarch butterflies to do what they do, if that's what you mean. They go through several generations during their trips north and south annually, and a new generation winds up wintering at the same spot as their dead ancestors who were alive during the previous winter, for example.
If you're referring to humans, I don't know how you would prove genetic memory, but I do know I've had occurrences in my life that make me think there is most likely such a thing.

Memory doesn't exist per Gerald Edelman, Nobel Laureate for his discovery of how the immune system works. With regards to memory, Edelman says there are only recognition templates that develop or atrophy from experience. If I play you a happy tune on a dog whistle you wont recall it or even sense it, no templates exist for it. Ditto infrared or ultraviolet pics. We inherit templates. We don't remember that the doctor slapped our ass at birth, we cry when it happens or smile if we're Democrats.

Do your spawn remember your death?
Herberts proposition is a cow path thru the odd world of Lamarckian evolutionary theory. Lamarck argued for the idea an acorn is better for it when you hug the tree it fell from.

Does a monarch butterfly remember its great grandfather and great grandmother who died before it was born, but who wintered a few generations earlier in the place the monarch is wintering now, after a long migration south?

Do you remember your antecedents because your were born in their country?
I think I may remember my antecedents regardless where they or I were born.

How would physical and mental evolution work unless organisms have the ability to pass on learning from experience genetically?

You assume it happens, experts say it doesn't. Experts say experience is limited to now. And your theory contains a preposterous proposition in it: Organisms are able to sort out conflicting experiences of the past.
