I'm looking for scientific data, not ignorant comments.

When does the brain start to develop neurons to form memories?? I've seen from 40 days to 22 conceptual weeks...

no because the brain is not developed at that time and an average child usually doesn't remember anything until after they are 3. the only thing that a sperm/single cell organism contains is 23 chromosomes of DNA - 23 from the mother (x) and 23 from the father (y).

No. Memories are stored in neurons in the brain, and there are no specialized cells yet at the single cell point of development (since there is only one cell). Memories aren't stored in just any cell, just in the brain.

That would be a no. Memories require neurons, which are themselves cells. A single cell organism does not have neurons, and therefore cannot have a memory.

sperm and other single cells have absolutely no neural matter (except neurons) so no, and also kids don't start remembering until about 2 or 3 years

No--your brain doesn't develop until much later on. So remembreing life even up to 2 or 3 would be tough.

No, the average child doesn't start remembering things until around age 3.

No physical memory. however your DNA does store information that can be traced back billions of years. and some of this information includes learned behaviours and instincts. I would purpose insticts be a form of ancestral memory.

I would say no because the brain has not developed.
