You are trolling but this actually can be subject of a 10 to 20 pages essay

The short answer is some human minds can store an incredible amount of information

One guy flew over a large city, NY
And came back, and he can draw every building and window he saw

Another guy if you give him the date, he can tell you exactly what he did on that Day

So the answer is possible

You know what's even more amazing?
There's a few cases of people who got knocked on head or tumor or something and end up got abilities never studied before

I think THINK someone ended up being super violent or jerk off all the time too

There doesn't appear to be a limit to the amount of facts a brain can make sense of.

I think there's a limit

If theoretically a Neanderthal survived from 10000 years or more ago.and never die and cells don't die, can he recall exactly what happened 10000 years ago?

How much information can his brain store, how much can he process if he needs to process new information and function every day

Go google solomon shereshevsky. I came across him in a book, his memory cannot be measured one. Even can remember things from his childhood and cannot lose the memory unless he chose to lose it.

Well I heard from my teacher, lhl's eldest son spent so much time in the school library that you ask him any book in the library he can tell you all about the contents... *I never verify it though*

Indeed, they are a group people called savant. Kim Peek, the real Rain Man is a living example.
