How the fuk does my dog know what pointing is? (srs)

He's not trained.. Just knows basic chit like sit or go home or stop humping that person's leg you horny kunt.. But for some reason when I point at something he looks directly at what i'm pointing at and runs towards that direction sometimes.. How the fuk is that possible? They have paws, and would have no evolutionary reason to know what a pointing hand does..Is my dog secretly a genius or did I smoke too much?

Innate knowledge. This has been a fierce debate in philosophy for a long time with John Locke rejecting the concept and rationalists like Descartes embracing the idea.

I think knowledge can be encoded in DNA or another theory is Rupert Sheldrake's "Morphic Resonance"

What you are describing is an anomaly not explainable by modern biology if DNA only encodes for proteins...evidently something else is going on.

I think memories can be genetic and that's why Royal families and other elites have been known to inbreed. It's a way to pass on genetic memories and "reincarnate" into their bloodlines as generations go by.

Nope, he doesn't play fetch.. Used to try but I throw ball and he just looks at me like i'm stupid.. He likes to just run around the garden or with neighbour's dog along fence..

That's interesting.. So basically because my dog's ancestors learned what pointing is, he could have somehow inherited that knowledge?
