I have a question, though: how far do the OM go? from a creationist point of view, it's simple - Eve. but from an evolutionary perspective? where do you draw the line? when do we stop being human if you look backwards?

Logicically the memories reach all the way to the point of conciousness, and yes they would accessible, However if a RM went searching that far back it is implied if not stated that she would become lost.

if by human you mean homo sapien
id say conscious memory goes back far previous to its emergence as a species

[inhuien]

It goes back a far as you want it to, Did Homo Erectus have a thought process I don't know and I don't think anyone alive does.

[distrans]

Leto's great body trembled through its entire length at this thought. He well
knew the antidote which had always worked before: lose himself for a time in his
own past. Not even the Bene Gesserit Sisters could take such safaris, striking
inward along the axis of memories-back, back to the very limits of cellular
awareness, or stopping by a wayside to revel in a sophisticated sensory delight.
Once, after the death of a particularly superb Duncan, he had toured great
musical performances preserved in his memories. Mozart had tired him quickly.
Pretentious! But Bach . . . ahhh, Bach.
