(A)malfunction of one oi^an affecting brain.
(B) the harmony between the Ying and Yang affecting the function of certain organs
(C) the concept that the brain is just like an organ
(D) certain organs affecting human mental states) (c) The idea that heredity can be seen as a form of memory was entertained by several nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century biologists and was part of a Lamarckian approach to evolution. Eva Jablonka surveys these ideas, focusing especially on the best-articulated theory of heredity~as~memory, developed by the German zoologist Richard Semon during the early twentieth-century. Although his major book, The Mneme, generated interest, Semon’s ideas were criticized and eventually discarded and forgotten, as the fortunes of Lamarckism began to wane in the 1920s and 1930s, Eva Jablonka argues that today, in light of what we know about the mechanisms of epigenetic inheritance, heredity and memory can be shown to be linked at several levels of biological organization. She also suggests that Semon's observations and ideas deserve reappraisal.
