What does "how humans fine-tune memory" mean?
And the tales captured in books, when no longer spoken, will exist as mere shadows of an once vibrant tradition. We are likely to lose a lot: entire world-views, religious beliefs, observations about life, technologies for how to domesticate animals and cultivate plants, and collective wisdom. And we will lose insight into how humans fine-tune memory to preserve and transmit epic tales.

Question

Good evening. Trying to catch it by meaning I know that fine-tune memory on the radio equipment is that function you can set a radio as favorite and it is set for long period.

Some information you record on this memory  and transmit it from generation to generation.
