This discovery was made by American geneticists and their Belgian colleagues, devoting him as many as two scientific articles in Cell magazine. Its essence is that man is reasonable and ultimately, civilized did not work like this argued at one time Frederick Engels and other supporters of such theories and mutations.
Thanks to them, our distant ancestor, scientists write, acquired a genome NOTCH2NL, which caused a sharp increase in brain volume, which eventually acquired a unique structure of large bark hemisphere, and as a result of all this metamarphosis – quickly became develop the human mind.
An international group of geneticists simultaneously found that Mother Nature allegedly tried to “enlighten” the present monkeys, at least human-like, trying to introduce similar gene during mutations, however, nothing came of it. But the ancestors people received this “gift” without problems, it seems, even with thanks. In view of this, nature even supplemented it a little, why the latest version of the gene described above provided man just a fantastic growth of the gray matter of the brain.

This supposedly raised a person in evolution to such an unprecedented height, leaving the monkeys far below that hopelessly there stuck. And no matter how hard they have worked since then, but without the right gene – Nowhere, no transformations to you in a person.
The fertile NOTCH2NL gene is located on the first DNA chromosome, he appeared there, scientists write, for about four million years back. True, it remains a mystery why this “mistake in copying “, which almost instantly turned our stupid ancestors in homo sapiens.
Recall that there is a theory according to which this genetic the mutation with our ancestors was not undertaken by nature, but by aliens from other worlds. In this case, the error in copying, “and attempts to plant the same gene with another humanoid creatures – monkeys, as we say.
Whether it’s true or not, it’s very difficult to state unequivocally, but here archaeologists find amazing artifacts, which are 100, and some (sandal print) are even 500 million years old. Who at that wandered around in shoes, made computers, made amazing mechanisms, if a person is intelligent, as genetics say today, appeared only 4 million years ago? ..
