Human nature: the origin of man in view of the new anthropological findings

Abstract. An overview of modern concepts of the origin of life and man are presented. It is suggested that new anthropological and paleontological discoveries significantly change current perception of anthropology and show falsity of human species concept. It is indicated that ancestors of modern humans were both Neanderthals and recently discovered human species (living at the same time with Homo Sapiens) "Floresiensis" and "Denisovan". Modern genetic researches of Hominids` mitochondrial and nuclear DNA indicated that they (Hominids) made a considerable contribution to the origin of Homo sapiens (otherwise modern humans), and became deadlock branch of evolution. It is indicated that, Neanderthal, Denisovan and Floresiensis genome coincides with the genome of the modern man in a few percent (1-4%). That is enough to confirm the fact of crossing (hybridization) of early modern humans with Neanderthals. It is suggested that modern humans are biologically represented by only one species (Homo sapiens). Psychologically, the sign of ancestors visible in the human psyche, is the result of crossing of several "ancestors".
