User blog comment:ThiefAC/Do you think a real life Animus could be possible?/@comment-3235544-20110730083754

Technically, animals react to different colours or follow special paths marked out for them with the magnetic field, or with real landmarks. DNA just isn't designed to house images and whatnot. Even if it did exist, it doesn't make sense that certain memories would be remembered, while the animal doesn't seem aware of absolutely everything their parents did. As for humans, there is no indication of an evolved sense of our ancestors. Humans are not so different from animals; I won't get into what makes us different, but our BODIES are exactly like animal bodies. Just my two cents :D I love genetics~
