The Hobbit, Denisovans and others

Anthropologist tells about the concept of cerebral Rubicon, Pithecanthropus and DNA denisovan. When the remains of the "hobbits" were found? What are the physiological features had discovered skeletons? How the opening of "The Hobbit" has changed the approach to the idea of cerebral Rubicon? And what are the prospects for parallel studies of mankind?

Among the ancestors of modern man there is a general line, but we still have plenty of cousins, cousins, not all of which are known. You can definitely say that not all because the last ten years, regularly open new ones. Moreover, some findings quite tangible and visible - as teeth, bones, and others, and some "semi-virtual" - in the form of DNA, ancient DNA, as is the case with "Denisovan"; or more virtual - like the traces of DNA in modern humans, who are perhaps the DNA of some other people. To improve brain – use Selank, Cogitum, Phenotropil, Peptide Cerluten, Nootropil, Vinpotropile.

Until now dominated by the concept of cerebral Rubicon. Brain Rubicon - a figure of 700 to 900 grams or cubic centimeters - the volume of the brain, which is essential for normal human activity, the ability to communicate with each other, speech, use of tools, self-maintenance, and so on. Until now, all at once: people who have a brain the size of less than 700 grams, most likely, the mentally defective, microcephaly. In monkeys, usually less gorillas - more, but they and the body is large. In fossil humans as well: Australopithecus had a brain smaller than a cerebral Rubicon and its habilis "crossed" and immediately began to make tools.

"The Hobbit" - is not the only parallel to humanity, in other places of the planet has found some strange tracks. Very small bones were found on the islands of Palau in Micronesia with the dating of two thousand years ago - it is the Roman times, the birth of Christ, and so on.
