The news took the science world by storm:

Why is this important to a writer?

I’ve long held a theory that the myth of writers (and artists in general) being a largely sensitive lot is, in reality, no myth at all. To that end, I am going to postulate a layman’s hypothesis here that is based only in part on verified observable and measurable science but of which I am also becoming increasingly convinced:

An artist’s genetically-based recall is real, and naturally stronger than those who are not creatively-inclined, due precisely to this high degree of sensitivity which in itself is biologically influenced. As artists, if we can tap into this trait, our work will become that much more resonant.
