Each species has a collective memory.

This also makes me think of the collective unconscious (in Jungian psychology, the part of the unconscious mind which is derived from ancestral memory and experience and is common to all humankind, as distinct from the individual’s unconscious).

In early Christianity, was there an awareness of the collective unconscious, the collective wisdom of the I Ching, the collective wisdom of one’s country’s dead (the Manes of Ancient Rome).

Manes (pronounced Mah-nays) were the collective dead (di manes = the divine dead) who inhabited the afterlife. Anyone who died became a mane and then were specified as a lare or a parentes by their family. The mane was the divine spark of life in each person which was thought to reside in the head.
