Shark Attack

Best defence against a great white shark attack?

What do I do if I see a great white coming towards me for an exploratory bite?

What is the best way to get it to go away and not be interested in me?

Is punching it on the snout effective?

To be totally honest, chances are you won't see a Great White coming for an exploratory bite because they're lazy and sneak attack from below the surface of the water. They usually will bite once, with a bite force of approx. 300 lbs and then leave to let their prey weaken and come back for an easy meal.
If face with a shark attack in general, go for the gills or the eyes. Sharks have fast reflexes and can react to your blows very quickly.
To avoid being attacked, stay vertical in the water and don't splash around. Seals lay horizontal in the water and make a lot of noise doing that will provoke the shark.
Punching the snout isn't effective, the snout is more sensitive to radio waves and electronic stimulation, not physical blows. As previously stated the gills and eyes are your best bet.

Do you ever wonder why we yawn when we are sleepy?

Why do we crave for food, as we are hungry? Why do we feel insecure and scared when we are in total darkness?

These behaviors are not unusual, as it may seem. But we didn't think this simple human instinct has been passed on generations from our great ancestors when they started to roam the earth. How can it be passed on?

In biology, memory is present if the state of a biological system depends on its past history in addition to present conditions. If this memory is recorded in the genetic material and stably inherited through cell division (mitosis or meiosis), it is genetic. This genetic memory is inherited in our DNA by survival means.

Why? DNA is the only storage medium involved in the transfer of information to the next generation. There is a saying about survival of the fittest. It's true, where human evolution apparently prepared our species to become possibly the best and clever living being able to adapt to different challenges and environments. For example, deep into your memory banks, your great-great-great grandfather had been attacked by shark five hundred years ago. Or he witnessed a shark attack and he had a phobia. Would that life-changing experience be useful in developing survival knowledge and possibly encoded in genes and passed on to you?

Traits information processed genetic or ancestoral memory that slowly becomes our earliest memories in handling certain survival skills or knowledge. This is not déjà vu involved here.

Recent discoveries about the idea also may affect us much more than we can imagine. It has been long said that our appearance is determined by combination of our parents' genes. Through research studies, certain disorders are directly linked to our genetic history. In addition, our aptitudes, musical and athletic ability, even our emotional traits are significantly affected by our genetic roots.

DNA builds everything concerning every living creature, including memory. Some memories may just be built in. Not many think of instincts as memory. But how does a newborn deer know how to run from a wolf? Or is it consciousness playing a role here? Or is it genetics? Although there still not enough concrete proof to link genetic memory to our common sense and other abilities, the question is whether you choose to believe or not. Probably, DNA testing technology will bring us deeper solution of the world of genetics.
