(ORDO NEWS) — In 1913, in Africa, near the town of Boskop, strange skull bones were discovered that attracted the attention of researchers. It turned out that these remains belonged to people who lived about 30 thousand years ago, and their brain volume was 30% larger than that of a modern person. That is why they are called Boscopes.
The huge brains of boscopes allowed them to possess the highest mental abilities. American neurophysiologists Gary Lynch and Richard Granger emphasize that the frontal lobes of boscopes were developed to such an extent that they could process several streams of information in parallel and analyze complex situations with a large number of possible outcomes.
They were smarter than us, as much as we are smarter than apes.
In addition, boscopes had amazing faces, reminiscent of childish features. Their chins were small, their noses were tiny, and their eyes were large. Their appearance corresponded to the ideas of anthropologists about the man of the future.
According to the assumptions of anthropologists and futurologists, in the future, the appearance of a person will also change. An increase in brain size will be necessary to process a huge amount of information, and faces will become like children’s ones – round and with small chins. The process of evolution can lead to a decrease in teeth or their complete disappearance.
However, despite all the interesting facts about boscopes, their disappearance is still a mystery. At the beginning of the 20th century, anthropologists decided that the remains of boscopes belonged to sick individuals, and lost interest in this discovery. But the famous anthropologist Raymond Dart in 1923 described these findings in detail and proved that the large brain in boscops is not the result of a disease, but is the norm.
Modern research continues to cause controversy. Researcher Tim White denies the existence of boscopes as a separate species, but anthropologist Hawks insists that the found skulls belong to representatives of the modern Khoisan race living in South Africa.
Biologist Sergey Savelyev suggests that boscopes could be one of the options for the evolution of the brain, which turned out to be unsuccessful, since maintaining such a huge brain requires large energy costs.
It is interesting to note that ufologists consider boscopes to be similar to “gray” UFO pilots. These creatures are small in stature, greyish-green or gray skin, and large almond-shaped eyes. They also have a disproportionately large head, small nose and mouth.
In conclusion, boscopes remain a mystery to science. Their huge brains and baby faces are of interest and controversy among scientists. Perhaps in the future we will be able to uncover all the secrets of this mysterious people.
