Despite many decades of serious research, our brain still jealously guards a colossal number of secrets. At the moment, we have received answers to only a small part of the questions; today it is not even possible to say with certainty why we do not remember how we were born. What can we say about more serious topics.
Why is memory needed?
Human memory It’s hard to call it something frivolous; it’s a complex combination of biological processes created by nature:
- It is a collection of static pictures united into a dynamic idea of the past.
- Memory is individual and unique for everyone, even if people witnessed the same events.
- Modern theory suggests that information in the brain is stored in the form of constantly circulating nerve impulses.
- It is the connections between nerve cells that allow us to remember past events.
- The psyche leaves its mark on all memories, some of them are completely replaced, the rest are distorted.
- The memory of children is especially interesting in this regard. They can imagine events that never existed in reality and religiously believe in them. Such is self-deception.
When a person loses his memory, he loses a part of his personality.. Despite the fact that all the acquired skills and qualities remain, too important information about the past disappears. Sometimes irrevocably.
Why don't we remember the first years?
In one of the scenes of the film " Lucy“The main character remembers not only her childhood, but also the very moment of birth. Of course, she's on drugs and has Superman-level powers. But how realistic is it for the average person to remember something like that, and why most people have no memories of the first three years of life?
For a long time, this was explained based on two theories.
And both proposed hypotheses are not ideal:
- Every person has a dozen not-so-pleasant memories.
- For some, truly terrible moments in their lives are etched in their memories for many years.
- There are millions of deaf and mute people in the world, but they do not experience any special memory problems.
- With the right approach, already at the age of three, a child is able to read books, let alone speak and remember.
Destruction of interneuron connections
Recent studies conducted on rats have shown interesting result:
- It turned out that during intensive growth of nervous tissue, old neural connections are disrupted.
- This also happens with neurons located in the so-called “memory center”.
- And since we have come to the conclusion that memory is electrical impulses between cells, it is not difficult to come to a logical conclusion.
- At a certain age, nervous tissue grows too rapidly, old connections are destroyed, and new ones are formed. The memory of previous events is simply erased.
Of course, conducting any such experiments on children is doomed to failure; the ethics and moral side of the issue will not allow such research to proceed. Perhaps scientists will find another way to confirm or refute this theory in the near future. In the meantime, we can enjoy any of the three generally accepted explanations.
All this does not mean that a person cannot remember something from early childhood. Some people have fragmented memories of this period - vivid images, fragments of moments and life situations. So You need to spend time with your baby at any age., it is in these years that most mental characteristics.
Why are babies born blue?
When a mother is shown her baby for the first time in the delivery room, the joy of the baby's appearance may change worries about his life:
- In popular culture, the image of a newborn has formed - a rosy-cheeked, screaming baby.
- But in real life everything is a little different, the child will appear either cyanotic or purple.
- He will become that rosy-cheeked baby within the next couple of days, no need to worry.
"Abnormal" color may be physiological and pathological:
- From a physiological point of view, it is explained by the transition from placental to pulmonary circulation.
- As soon as the child takes his first breath and begins to breathe on his own, the color of his skin gradually turns pink.
- The presence of lubricant on the baby’s skin plays a role.
- Do not forget about the presence of fetal hemoglobin and a different blood picture from an adult.
WITH pathology everything is simpler. There are two options - either hypoxia or injury.
But here it’s up to the obstetricians to decide, so trust the opinion of the specialists. Don’t beat yourself up over nothing, these people have attended hundreds of births and seen plenty of newborns. If they think that everything is fine or that on the contrary, something is wrong - most likely it is.
What influences “children’s forgetfulness”?
Today we can explain the absence of memories of birth and the first three years of life with the following theories:
- Replacement and displacement from memory shocking information . Let's hope that people don't have access to such a source of stress in the coming decades. It’s certainly interesting to know what we were all like. But at the same time, negative emotions will not go away.
- The beginning of the formation of associative connections with words. For a period of 2-3 years, the active development of speech occurs, and only after this is it possible to fix massive blocks of information in memory.
- Destruction of connections between neurons due to their intensive growth. Experimentally proven on laboratory mice and rats. Looks like the most promising explanation at the moment.
But the truth is always somewhere in the middle. Ultimately, it may turn out that all three hypotheses are true, but only partially. Memory formation is too complex a process to be influenced by just one factor.
It is not so important why we do not remember how we were born - whether it is due to intense cell growth or blocking shocking information. The main thing is that it is in 1-3 years that character and future child's inclinations, and not in some 7-10 years, as is commonly believed. So the baby needs to be given appropriate attention.
Video: remember how I was born
Below is a video with interesting explanations from psychologist Ivan Kadurin, who explains why a person does not remember how he was born and very vaguely remembers his childhood:
In a dream, we manage to overcome all imaginable and unimaginable obstacles, visit unknown countries and even fall in love, but, as a rule, when we wake up, the night’s adventures dissolve in consciousness. So how do our dreams arise, and why are they so completely erased from memory, and is it possible to retain a dream in memory with all the details? Experts have conducted a lot of research and are now one step closer to the truth.
Why do we fall asleep
Surely you have noticed more than once that the moment of “falling asleep”, when you disconnect from reality, is impossible to track. So how do we fall asleep anyway? Scientists from Sweden came to the conclusion that we fall asleep at the moment when the brain centers that were at rest during the daytime come into operation. And American experts have noticed that the lack of daylight plays an important role, which switches our biological clock to night time due to the production of melatonin, the sleep hormone. In any case, experts from different parts of the world have not come to a consensus. There is even an opinion that a person falls asleep due to the accumulation of certain metabolic products in the body during the day.
Everyone sleeps the same
All people sleep absolutely equally, and absolutely equally cannot do without sleep. We forget dreams because our brain is like a computer that has an incompatibility with certain files - a coding problem; let's say the same thing when we cannot upload some non-standard video format to YouTube.
According to recent research, all our dreams, even if we feel them to be very long or several of them per night, last a very short period of time in reality - a few seconds before waking up (not necessarily in the morning, you can wake up in the middle of the night). That is, all our flights in dreams, incredible journeys and great loves fly by in the present time with incredible speed. This circumstance prevents us from remembering our dreams in all details, and sometimes completely erases the picture from memory. Our brain is able to remember a maximum of three dreams a week, and even then very vaguely.
According to research, those dreams that we remember most vividly reflect our real dreams. Scientists have not found a final solution to what sleep is, but by default, sleep can be called the encoding of everyday information and dreams into our subconscious.
Two phases of sleep
During sleep, our body, like a global machine, begins to work in a completely different mode. For example, the sleep state is divided into two phases: slow and fast. Slow makes up from 75 to 80% of our total rest time; during this period, processes usually active during wakefulness slow down, the heart beats less often, breathing becomes rarer, the activity of the digestive system decreases, and body temperature decreases. Moreover, the muscles also relax extremely - this process, by the way, can be noticed even before falling asleep - you've probably noticed how our limbs twitch from time to time. For the most part, athletes and dancers are subject to reflex movements - their muscles undergo much greater stress during the day than those of other, “ordinary” people.
As for the fast phase, everything happens the other way around: the heart beat quickens, the pressure rises. Many scientists are sure that it is during the fast phase that our brain processes the information received over the past day. It must be said that we can have dreams in both the fast and slow phases, although they are very different from each other. In fast dreams, we see vivid, emotionally charged dreams, sometimes indecipherable - in other words, a set of pictures. But in the slow phase, dreams become much more meaningful, realistic, and as close as possible in content to the period of wakefulness, which is why, in slow sleep, it is sometimes impossible to distinguish dreams from reality. But if you wake up a person at the stage of REM sleep, he will, without a doubt, remember his dream in great detail. But in slow mode - no.
Where do our nightmares come from?
A nightmare is always bad, in other words, if you have bad dreams too often, you can be sure that your body is giving you warning signs. As a rule, systematic nightmares indicate neurosis, increased emotionality and other mental disorders. “Random” nightmares are a sign of overwork and stress. Unpleasant dreams can occur in both the fast and slow phases. The only thing is that when you are in the fast phase, you, as a rule, can realize that you are dreaming, that you are dreaming a nightmare. Moreover, you are so aware of this that by an effort of will you can force yourself to wake up.
As for the slow phase, everything is much more complicated here. Since our dreams become more realistic during the slow period, our perception also changes, which means it is not always possible to persuade ourselves to wake up.
But the relatively good news is that you have already watched the lion's share of your nightmares. It turns out that children are much more susceptible to scary dreams than adults. Scientists have proven that from 3 to 8 years old, children have more nightmares than adults in their entire lives. And this is a reason to treat our children and their random night tears even a little more carefully.
Black and white dreams
It turns out that not all people can see colorful dreams. However, there are very few lucky people whose dreams are always monochrome. Studies conducted from 1915 to the fifties of the 20th century say that among sighted people, 12% dream exclusively in black and white. Since the 60s the picture has changed. Today, 4.4% of people see black and white dreams.
Some interesting facts
We only dream what we have seen. Sometimes completely unfamiliar faces appear in our dreams. In fact, no matter how paradoxical it may sound, in a dream we see only what we know. Just imagine - hundreds of people pass by us every day, and every face they see is imprinted in our subconscious - in reality, we will quickly forget “unnecessary” information, but in a dream, the brain may very well helpfully slip it to us.
All healthy people dream. All people (except perhaps patients with serious mental changes) have dreams, however, according to research, men and women see dreams differently. Men mostly dream of representatives of their own sex, while women in their dreams see representatives of both sexes in approximately equal proportions.
Blind people also dream. If a person has lost his sight after birth, throughout his life he may dream of pictures “from a past life.” As for those who suffer from the disease from the cradle, their dreams are filled with sounds, smells and tactile sensations.
Dreams prevent neurosis. Dreams are a reflection of our desires - both conscious and subconscious. It is dreams that help protect our nervous system. Relatively recently, a team of psychologists conducted an experiment: a group of volunteers were allowed to sleep eight hours a day, however, they were woken up whenever the period of dreams began. After a short time, the volunteers began to hallucinate at normal times of the day, get nervous for no reason, and show aggression.
Mental disorders can be diagnosed using dreams. Several years ago, the popular journal Neurology presented evidence that mental illnesses such as Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia make themselves felt in dreams long before their first real manifestation. The fact is that patients with these diseases, the cause of which lies in neurodegenerative disorders, constantly have nightmares, which are especially characterized by screams, blows, crying and groans that reign in the dream.
You won't believe it, but my friends told me that they children up to 2-3 years of age remembered not only how they were born, but also how they saw their mother there in the sky.
Whether these were childhood fantasies or real memories, it’s hard to say. But the human brain is designed in such a way that we hardly remember most of the information before the age of 5.
Moreover, it happens that we can remember some bright event all our lives. Moreover, this event could have happened when you were not even a year old. So, for example, I remember well how I was baptized at the age of six months.
Why don't adults remember how they were born?
According to one opinion of scientists, it is believed that a person has long-term and short-term memory. So here it is The psychologically difficult and dangerous moment of childbirth is blocked and belongs to short-term memory.
Yes, you yourself have probably often heard that many people forget some dangerous, life-threatening moments that happened to them.
In general, even children aged 5-7 years do not remember the period of childhood up to 3 years, and not just the birth itself. This period is also called “infantile amnesia.”
- There is also an opinion that we cannot remember the moment of birth, since during this period of life the child does not yet speak. That is, nerve cells cannot combine memories with words.
But in general the human brain is still poorly understood. Therefore, many processes associated with memory are not yet within the control of scientists. Just like, for example, explain such a phenomenon as human sleep.
However, some individuals try to remember their infant life and moment of birth using a hypnosis procedure. Although so far practically no one has succeeded.
The first three to four years of life. Plus, we generally remember quite little about ourselves before the age of seven. “No, well, I still remember something,” you will say, and you will be absolutely right. Another thing is that, upon reflection, it can be difficult to understand whether we are talking about real memories or second-order memories based on photographs and stories from parents.
The phenomenon known as “infantile amnesia” has been a mystery without a solution to psychologists for more than a century. Despite the wealth of information that can be used and technological developments, scientists still cannot say for sure why this happens. Although there are a number of popular theories that seem most plausible to them.
The first reason is the development of the hippocampus
It might seem that the reason we don't remember ourselves as infants is because babies and toddlers don't have complete . But in fact, The Conversation adds, babies as young as 6 months can form both short-term memories, which last for a few minutes, and long-term memories related to events in recent weeks and even months.
In one study, 6-month-old babies who learned to press a lever to control a toy train remembered how to do so for 2 to 3 weeks after they last saw the toy. And preschoolers, according to another study, are able to remember what happened several years ago. But here, experts explain, the question again remains open: these are autobiographical memories or memories obtained with the help of someone or something.
The truth is that memory capabilities in childhood are indeed not the same as in adulthood (in fact, memory continues to develop in adolescence). And this is one of the most popular explanations for “infantile amnesia.” It is important to understand that memory is not only about the formation, but also the maintenance and subsequent retrieval of memories. At the same time, the hippocampus - the area of the brain responsible for all this - continues to develop until at least seven years of age.
It is also interesting that the typical boundary of “childhood amnesia” at 3-4 years old appears to shift with age. There is evidence that children and adolescents typically have earlier memories than adults. This, in turn, suggests that the issue may have less to do with the formation of memories and more to do with their retention.
Reason two - language proficiency
The second important factor that plays a role in childhood memories is language. Between the ages of one and six years, children basically go through the complex process of developing speech to become fluent (or even languages, if we are talking about bilinguals). Scientists believe that the assumption that the ability to speak affects the ability to remember (we also include the presence of the words “remember”, “remember” in the lexicon) is to some extent correct. In other words, the level of language proficiency in a given period partially influences how well the child will remember this or that event.
This is evidenced, for example, by a study conducted with the participation of babies taken to the emergency department. As a result, children over 26 months of age who could talk about the event at the time remembered it five years later, while children under 26 months of age who could not speak remembered little or nothing at all. That is, preverbal memories are indeed more likely to be lost if they are not translated into language.
Reason three - cultural characteristics
Unlike simple information sharing, memories revolve around the social function of sharing experiences with others. In this way, family stories support memory accessibility over time and also increase narrative coherence, including the chronology of events, their theme, and .
Maori, the aboriginal people of New Zealand, have the earliest childhood memories - they remember themselves as early as 2.5 years old. Researchers believe this is due to the consistency of Maori mothers' storytelling and the tradition of telling family stories from an early age. Analysis of data on the topic also shows that adults in cultures that value autonomy (North America, Western Europe) tend to report earlier childhood memories than adults in cultures that value integrity and connectedness (Asia, Africa).
Our childhood. Looking at the children from the neighboring yard, you understand that this is the most carefree time in every person’s life. However, memories of our childhood or birth are not available to us. What is this mystery connected with? Why shouldn't we remember ourselves in our childhood years? What is hidden behind this gap in our memory? And then at some point a thought suddenly flashed, why don't we remember ourselves from birth, forces us to delve into the mysteries of the unknown.
Why don't we remember our birth
It would seem that such an important moment as birth should have been imprinted in our brain forever. But no, some vivid events from a past life sometimes emerge in the subconscious, and most importantly, they are forever erased from memory. It is not surprising that the best minds in psychology, physiology and the religious sphere are trying to understand such an interesting fact.
Erasing memory from a mystical point of view
Researchers studying the unknown mystical side of the existence of our universe and the Higher Mind give their answers to the questions of why areas of human memory erase the ability to reproduce the birth process.
The main emphasis is on the Soul. It contains information about:
- lived periods of life,
- emotional experiences,
- achievements and failures.
Why don't we remember how we were born?
From a physical point of view, it is not possible for a person to understand the soul and decipher the facts stored in it.
It is assumed that this substance visits the formed embryo on the tenth day of its existence. But she does not settle there forever, but leaves him for a while, only to return a month and a half before the birth.
Scientific background
But we do not have the opportunity to remember a very important moment in our lives. This happens due to the fact that the soul does not want to “share” with the body the information that it itself possesses. A bundle of energy protects our brain from unnecessary data. Most likely, the process of creating a human embryo is too mysterious to be solved. The external universe uses the body only as an external shell, while the soul is immortal.
Man is born in pain
Why do we not remember how we were born into this world? Accurate evidence of this phenomenon has not been obtained. There are only assumptions that the extreme stress experienced at birth is to blame. A child from the warm mother’s womb climbs out through the birth canal into a world unknown to him. In the process, he experiences pain due to the changing structure of his body parts.
The growth of the human body is directly related to the formation of memory. An adult remembers the most outstanding moments in his life and places them in the “storage” compartment of his brain.
For children, everything happens a little differently.
- Positive and negative moments and events are deposited in the “subcortex” of their consciousness, but at the same time they destroy the memories existing there.
- A child's brain is not yet developed enough to store large amounts of information.
- That is why we do not remember ourselves from birth and do not store childhood memories.
What do we remember from childhood
Children's memory develops from 6 months to 1.5 years. But even then it is divided into long-term and short-term. The child recognizes the people around him, can switch to this or that object, and knows how to navigate the apartment.
Another scientific assumption about why we have completely forgotten the process of appearing in this world is associated with ignorance of words.
The baby does not speak, cannot compare current events and facts, or correctly describe what he saw. Infantile amnesia is the name given to the absence of childhood memories by psychologists.
Scientists express their guesses about this problem. They believe that children choose short-term memory as a niche for storing important experienced events. And this has nothing to do with a lack of ability to create memories. Any person not only cannot tell how his birth happened, but the passage of time makes him forget other important bright moments of his life in a certain period.
There are two main scientific theories that try to understand this difficult issue.
| Name | Description |
| Freud's theory | The world famous Freud, who promoted important changes in the fields of medicine and psychology, had his own views on the lack of childhood memories.
In other words, a girl at an early age is strongly attached to her father and experiences jealous feelings towards her mother, perhaps even hating her.
But this theory was not widely used. It has remained exclusively one person's position regarding the lack of memories of an early period of life. |
| Hark Hawn theory | What the scientist proved: why we don’t remember childhood
This doctor believed that the child did not feel like a separate person. He does not know how to separate the knowledge gained as a result of his own life experience and the emotions and feelings that other people experience. For the baby everything is the same. Therefore, memory does not preserve the moment of birth and childhood. How do children know how to distinguish between mom and dad if they have not yet learned to speak and remember? Semantic memory helps them with this. The child easily navigates the rooms and shows who is dad and who is mom without getting confused. It is long-term memory that stores important information so necessary to survive in this world. “Storage” will tell you the room where he is fed, bathed, dressed, the place where the treat is hidden, and so on. So why don’t we remember ourselves from birth:

Why do some people remember themselves as children?
At what age do we begin to remember events that happen to us? Among your acquaintances, most likely, there are people who claim that they remember their infant years. If you are one of them, then stop deceiving yourself. And do not believe others who prove that this is so.
The brain erases events from childhood
An adult can remember moments that happened to him after five years, but not earlier.
What scientists have proven:
- Infantile amnesia completely erases the first years of life from memories.
- New brain cells, as they form, destroy all early memorable events.
- This action in science is called neurogenesis. It is constant at any age, but in infancy it is especially violent.
- Existing “cells” storing certain information are overwritten by new neurons.
- As a result, new events completely erase the old ones.
Amazing Facts of Human Consciousness
Our memory is diverse and has not yet been fully studied. Many scientists have tried to get to the bottom of the truth and determine how to influence it, forcing us to create the “storage chambers” we need. But even the rapid development of information progress does not make it possible to make such a castling.
However, some points have already been proven and may surprise you. Check out some of them.
| Fact | Description |
| Memory works even if one part of the brain hemisphere is damaged |
|
| Complete amnesia almost never happens. | In reality, complete memory loss is practically non-existent. You often watch movies where the hero hits his head, causing the previous events to completely evaporate. In reality, it is almost impossible that during the first trauma everything is forgotten, and after the second one everything is restored.
|
| The onset of brain activity in an infant begins in the embryonic state. | Three months after the egg is fertilized, the baby begins to place certain events in the cells of its storage. |
| A person can remember a lot of information |
It's just that you can't get the necessary facts out of your storage, the volume of which is unlimited. |
| It has been proven how many words can the human brain remember? | This figure is 100,000. There are so many words, but why don’t we remember ourselves from birth, it’s still interesting to know about this. |
| False memory exists | If unpleasant events happen to us that traumatize our psyche, consciousness can turn off the memory of such moments, recreating, exaggerating or distorting them. |
| Works while sleeping short term memory | That is why dreams mainly convey recent life facts that happen to us, which we do not remember in the morning. |
| TV kills your ability to remember |
|
| Brain growth occurs before age twenty-five |
|
| Always needed new and unique experiences | Memory loves nothingness
Have you ever wondered why time flies so quickly? Why are the same impressions and emotions subsequently devoid of novelty? Remember your first meeting with your loved one. The appearance of the first child. Your vacation you've been waiting for all year.
But when it repeats, it no longer seems so joyful, but fleeting. After you have just tripled back to work after studying, you look forward to your first vacation, spend it usefully and slowly. The third and the rest are already flying by in an instant. The same applies to your relationship with a loved one. At first you count the seconds until your next meeting; they seem like an eternity to you. But, after the years you have lived together, before you know it, you are already celebrating your thirtieth anniversary.

What can you remember from childhood?
What are your most vivid childhood memories? The child's brain is designed in such a way that it is not susceptible to sound associations. Most often, he is able to remember events he saw or those that the children tried by touch.
The fear and pain experienced in infancy are forced out of the “storage chambers” and replaced by positive and good impressions. But some people are able to remember only negative moments from life, and they completely erase happy and joyful moments from their memory.
Why do our hands remember more than our brains?
A person is able to reproduce bodily sensations in more detail than conscious ones. An experiment with ten-year-old children proved this fact. They were shown photos of their friends from the nursery group. Consciousness did not recognize what they saw, only the galvanic skin reaction revealed that the children still remembered their grown-up comrades. This can be determined by the electrical resistance experienced by the skin. It changes when excited.
Why does memory remember experiences?
Emotional memories become scarred by our most negative experiences. Thus, consciousness warns us for the future.
But sometimes the psyche simply does not have the ability to cope with the mental trauma suffered.
- Horrible moments simply do not want to fit into a puzzle, but are presented in our imagination in the form of scattered fragments.
- Such a sad experience is stored in the implicit memory in torn pieces. A small detail - a sound, a look, a word, the date of an event - can resurrect the past that we are trying to erase from the depths of our brain.
- To prevent obsessive terrible facts from being resurrected, each victim uses the principle of so-called dissociation.
- Experiences after trauma are fragmented into separate, incoherent fragments. Then they are not so associated with real life nightmares.
If you were offended:
Are there really options for answering the question of why we don’t remember ourselves from birth? Maybe this information can still be pulled out from the depths of our capacious storage?
When certain problems arise, we most often turn to psychologists. To help cope with its solution, specialists in some cases resort to hypnosis sessions.
It is often believed that all our painful real experiences come from deep childhood.
During a moment of trance, the patient can list all his hidden memories without even knowing it.
Sometimes, individual non-susceptibility to hypnosis does not allow one to immerse oneself in the early periods of one’s life journey.
Some people, on a subconscious level, put up a blank wall and protect their emotional experiences from others. And this method has not received scientific confirmation. Therefore, if some people tell you that they perfectly remember the moment of their birth, do not take this information seriously. Most often these are simple inventions or a clever professional advertising trick.
Why do we remember moments that happen to us after we reach 5 years of age?
Can you answer:
- What do you remember from your childhood?
- What were your first impressions after visiting the nursery group?
Most often, people cannot give at least any answer to these questions. But, nevertheless, there are still at least seven explanations for this phenomenon.
| Cause | Description |
| Unripe brain | The roots of this hypothesis have come to us a long time ago.
But at present, many scientists argue with this statement.
|
| Missing vocabulary | Due to the fact that until the age of three, a child knows a minimum number of words, he is not able to clearly describe the events and moments surrounding him.
For example, a girl remembered the smell of her grandmother’s pies in the village where she spent up to a year. |
| Muscular form |
You saw that they constantly copy the movements of adults, gradually bringing their actions to automatism. But psychologists argue with this statement.
|
| Lack of sense of time | To put together a picture from flickering details from childhood, you need to understand in what specific period the corresponding event occurred. But the child cannot do this yet. |
| Memory with holes |
|
| No desire to remember | An interesting position is taken by pessimists who argue why we don’t remember ourselves from birth. It turns out that unconscious fears are to blame for this:
Everyone is trying to force their helpless state out of uncomfortable memories. And, when we are able to serve ourselves independently, from that moment we begin to “record” all the information we receive and reproduce it, if necessary. |
| A very important period of life | The brain is like a computer
Think about how a computer works. If we make changes to system programs at our own discretion, this may lead to a failure of the entire system as a whole.
|
Do we remember or not?
It cannot be assumed that all of the above hypotheses are one hundred percent correct. Since the moment of memorization is a very serious and not fully studied process, it is hard to believe that it is influenced by only one of the listed facts. Of course, it’s curious that we keep a lot of different things, but we don’t imagine our birth. This is the greatest mystery that humanity cannot solve. And, most likely, the question of why we don’t remember ourselves from birth will worry great minds for decades to come.
Your comments are very interesting - do you remember yourself as a child?
It will be interesting to find out.
