Morphic Resonance
Morphic Resonance by Rupert Sheldrake presents a controversial theory suggesting that memory and learning are not solely stored in brains or DNA but are instead influenced by a "morphic field."

This idea challenges conventional scientific views on evolution, consciousness, and habit formation. The book explores how patterns and behaviors are passed down non-genetically and how nature might be more interconnected than traditionally believed.
