Thirty generations later, rats were solving the same maze in 20 tries. Rats on a different continent — with no connection to the original colony — started at 25. The knowledge had spread. No one could explain how. A Cambridge biochemist named Rupert Sheldrake spent years studying cases like this — rats, birds, crystals, dogs, and humans — all showing the same pattern. His conclusion got his book called the best candidate for burning in modern scientific history. Then someone stabbed him for it. The evidence is stranger than it sounds, and the implications are hard to ignore. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

[gentle music] In 1920, a Harvard scientist put rats in a maze with two exits. One path was well-lit but electrified. The other was dark, but safe. The rat tried the bright exit, [rat scurries] it got shocked. It tried again, it got shocked. Again and again. It took 165 painful tries, but it finally learned to take the dark path. 15 years later, and 30 generations later, the rats needed just 20 tries. They were getting smarter. The solution was passed genetically. That's not supposed to happen. A scientist in Scotland tried the same experiment with a completely different set of rats. His rats started at 25 tries, as if they already knew the answer to the puzzle. Knowledge had crossed the ocean and no one could explain how.
