No, no one can remember their birth. This is because the brain is not yet sophisticated enough to understand and remember concepts such as their own birth, let alone the ponderings of the Universe.

can you tell me that phototropism is intelligence or just a simple catalysic biomechanism?
Yes it is simply intelligent,and more so in some repects than us,at least it does not justify itself like You or I.And there are many who can remember being born,some can recall the womb,a little research will reveal this fact.kind regardsmichael.
