Past Life Memories or DNA Ancestral Memories?

There is more and more research showing that trauma or memories can be carried down to our children through our DNA.

Look at some of these examples:

History provides examples of generations traumatized by war and starvation whose children experience altered physiology.

Research from Emory University School of Medicine, in Atlanta, has shown that it is possible for some information to be inherited biologically through chemical changes that occur in DNA. They leaned that mice can pass on learned information about traumatic experiences – in one case, the fear of the smell of cherry blossom to subsequent generations.

So with this knowledge we are just curious how this plays into past live memories. How does this affect our belief in reincarnation? Are past life memories truly from our own soul that lived another life in another body or is it just DNA sharing the memories of one of our ancestors who lived before us?

One point Id like to make is that most people who remember past lives, that have been followed up and facts verified are not related to the person they are remembering in this lifetime. So this would disprove the DNA ancestral memories in many most of the cases.
