Answer
Rupert Sheldrake's theory of morphic resonance states that natural systems inherit a collective memory, or "morphic field". This means that similar patterns can be found in different organisms, even if they are not closely related. For example, the way that birds build their nests is very similar across different species, even though they have never seen each other's nests.
