An Orphan's Odyssey, Half-Century through Revolution, War and Peace A Memoir by Kevork Manjikian

Human memory emerged as an unusual de novo force on Earth when
humans simultaneously, un-selfconsciously walked upright and spoke
forthright. Fecundity of working memory is prodigious, ubiquitous.
This force-function of human consciousness separates it from all other
creatures on Earth. Working memory is individual, an inwardly imperial
performative, that simultaneously structures childhood memory and
individual identity by age five. As inter-generational memory takes hold
already a linguistic umbilicus is functioning between parents, children
and grandparents.
