I'm not discounting that you are correct that it is Ancestral Memory. I
need to reread that section, while realizing that it might not be
specified. Alternatively, maybe it is AM, but with alien origins in the
past. Remember, the Family Atomics and the Great Convention and how the
atomics were kept as a hedge against alien attack. Maybe they were
acting out of long forgotten memories of a human/alien merge lost in the
mists o' time...... :)

And part of the allure of FH. We, the reader, trusted him, and, in a
sense, he trusted us. No need to totally flesh out every concept.
Something I would demand of a less credible author....
