Rupert Sheldrake

Rupert Sheldrake is a British biologist known for his theory of "morphic resonance," which suggests that natural systems—like animals, plants, or even societies—are shaped by collective memory from past similar systems. He proposes that habits and behaviors are influenced not only by genetics and environment but also by a kind of collective consciousness that extends beyond individual experience. His ideas challenge conventional scientific views on biology and consciousness, sparking both curiosity and debate within the scientific community.
