* ''Literature/ChildrenOfTime'': The spiders have this, thanks to the brain-altering virus that [[UpliftedAnimal uplifted them]]. Certain knowledge and skills, called Understandings, are tied to particular sequences in their genome. In their early days, these were valuable items of trade that were exchanged by mating, so that their offspring acquired them; later, the spiders developed advanced biotechnology that allowed them to isolate Understandings and inject them directly into their brains, turning them into {{Instant Expert}}s on any subject on demand.

* ''[[Film/AssassinsCreed2016 Assassin's Creed]]'': Like in the [[Franchise/AssassinsCreed games]], the genetic memory of PresentDay Assassins is explored through the Animus device, sending them in the skin of their ancestors. In that case, the bloodline of one Callum Lynch (Creator/MichaelFassbender) is of particular interest, as his Spanish 15th century ancestor Aguilar de Nerha ([[IdenticalGrandson also Fassbender]]) held an [[MacGuffin Apple of Eden]] in his hands and fought tooth and nail to protect it. This version of the Animus also makes Callum reproduce the moves of his ancestor instead of a a table/seat-shaped Animus putting him in a sort of sleep.

* In the original ''Literature/ClanOfTheCaveBear'', the Neanderthals were portrayed as having racial memories, which was supposed to both make up for their lack of verbal skills and imagination and keep them socially and "technologically" stagnant.

* In ''Film/{{Gremlins}}'' one of the gremlins is blown up in a microwave and in ''Film/Gremlins2TheNewBatch'' the new batch of gremlins apparently know what a microwave is and destroy one by throwing kitchen utensils in it and turning it on. [[FridgeLogic How they knew microwaving metal would make it explode is another matter.]]
** On top of that, Stripe, the Gremlin leader in the first movie, clearly has a vendetta against Gizmo for killing him, as his reborn self, Mohawk, spends most of his time in the second film torturing Gizmo rather than leading the rest of the Gremlins like his first iteration.
