Animal navigation is based on Quantum effects theory
We believe that animal navigation is based on Quantum effects which are inimical to a classic Newtonian science based approach. This world is so weird and unlikely that it is impossible to understand properly or as Feynman said if you think you understand it you must have misunderstood. Dowsers know that you can access this…

Stephen Durnford – DNA, learned behaviour and instinct
I am delighted that Stephen Durnford has agreed to provide us with this fascinating exposition of how Instinct might work. We at www.animalnav.org. are always searching to go beyond phrases that do not describe in detail how things work so Durnford by suggesting that instinctive behaviour is passed from generation to generation encoded in DNA (which…
