In 1913, in Africa, near the town of Boskop, strange skull bones were found - disproportionately large. Later, describing them in the journal Nature, researcher Frederick Fitzsimons said: the remains belonged to people who lived about 30 thousand years ago. And the volume of their brain reached 1900 cm³. This is 30% more than that of a modern person. These fossils were called boscopes.
The famous American neurophysiologists Gary Lynch and Richard Granger wrote in their book that boscopes, thanks to their huge brains, also possessed the highest mental abilities. They were smarter than us as much as we are wiser than apes. The researchers emphasize that the boscopes had highly developed frontal lobes - one and a half times larger than the corresponding parts of our brain in volume - and they are mainly responsible for intelligence.
As Lynch and Granger suggest, boscopes, thanks to their frontal lobes, could process several streams of information in parallel, analyze complex situations with a large number of possible outcomes. Could think about some problem and at the same time have a conversation. Boscopes were much better at keeping memories - right up to a very early age, they were able to restore them entirely, which we almost never succeed in.

In addition, the boscopes had amazing faces - almost childish: with small chins, tiny noses and big eyes. In a word, their appearance fully corresponded to the ideas of anthropologists about the man of the future.
Many anthropologists and futurologists believe that in the next millennium, the appearance of man will change. The habit of chewing lighter food will make our faces look like children’s: round, with small chins. Over time, teeth will begin to grow smaller - until they completely disappear. The abundance of information will require a larger brain. And, accordingly, the skull. The head will be enlarged and rounded.
Where the boscopes came from and why they disappeared about 20 thousand years ago is still a mystery. But boscopes have become of no interest to science. Anthropologists decided that there was nothing unusual about their remains and that they were probably dealing with sick individuals. Although back in 1923, the famous anthropologist Raymond Dart, who discovered Australopithecus, described these findings in detail and proved that the large brain in boscopes is not the result of hydrocephalus. The scientist argued that the big head of these people was not a disease, but the norm.

In our time, researcher Tim White has stated that one cannot speak of any kind of boscopes. However, the anthropologist Hawks insists that the skulls found in the vicinity of Boskop belong to the representatives of the modern Khoisan race who live in South Africa. And Alexander Buzhilov, in turn, claims that one cannot talk about intelligence, operating only with the mass, size and volume of the brain.
Doctor of Biological Sciences Sergei Savelyev does not exclude that nature experienced one of the variants of brain evolution on boscopes, which was doomed to failure. After all, a lot of energy costs are spent to maintain a brain that provides very few benefits.
According to ufologists, boscopes are very similar to "gray" UFO pilots. These creatures are small in stature, with grayish-green or gray skin. They have a disproportionately large head, small nose and mouth, and large almond-shaped eyes.
There are experts who believe that not only boscopes, but also modern people appeared on Earth with the help of a purposeful effort of the Supreme Cosmic Reason. They believe that boscopes, like humans, appeared on the planet at the same time.
However, for reasons unknown so far, the progenitors interrupted the Boskop line. Perhaps this happened when they saw how boscopes are very much ahead of modern people in mental development. According to ufologists, all information about the Boscopic civilization has been erased from a person's memory.
