(1) My childhood was wonderful. (2) When I was a child there was no money, there was no interesting work, but all this is a matter of gain. (3) But in childhood there was a father and mother.

(4) In our family, the father always reigned with his unquestioned authority. (5) There was no place for the mother in boys' games. (6) Of course, I couldn’t live without her breakfasts, lunches and dinners, but it was so ordinary that it was unnoticeable... (7) Tenderness was not accepted in our family. (8) We didn’t kiss mom before bed and didn’t say in a fit of emotion:

- I love you...

(9) Have I told her this at least once? (10) Life was so filled with important things that there was no room for the usual: I ran home for a minute, had a snack - and again went back to where friends, games and passions were. (11) Ninety percent of me consisted of my mother’s worries, but I didn’t notice them, just as we don’t feel and don’t see the air we breathe at all.

(12) My mother and I lived nearby, but it was as if different worlds. (13) These worlds came into contact only once, when a story happened that turned out to be more interesting than all the adventures and undertakings: playing football, shooting from a self-propelled gun and launching rockets.

(14) Usually my mother spent time at the stove, in the bathroom or on the sofa - reading books, I remember crying over Dostoevsky’s “Poor People”. (15) But sometimes she suddenly jumped up from the sofa, full of energy and ready for exploits. (16) She was attracted by business activity; her mother was full of the most daring business plans. (17) She loved to say: “We lived poorly - that’s enough!” (18) But her business was usually limited to dreams and laughter. (19) She shared her plans with her loved ones, and they laughed at her. (20) And in vain, because the main thing for the author of the project is self-confidence, and criticism from loved ones can destroy the sprouts of the most brilliant undertakings.

(21) And yet one day my mother was able to captivate me with her plan. (22) It was about flying on an airplane! (23) I was assigned the role of an assistant: in the morning she bought three buckets of cherries at our market, we boarded a plane and half an hour later we found ourselves in the regional center, where these same cherries could be sold for considerable profit! (24) The prospect of flying on an airplane seemed so tempting to me that I decided to support my mother in spite of all my doubts.

(25) At six o'clock in the morning, we, helping each other, shifting buckets of purchased cherries from hand to hand, dragged ourselves to the airfield. (26) On a bare field there was a trailer and a couple of green “corn farmers” were spending the night. (27) We climbed into the belly of the airplane, placed buckets under our feet, and after a short run, we soared into the air with a terrible rumble. (28) We didn’t rise above the clouds, but even the height of a couple of hundred meters at which the flight took place was breathtaking. (29) The green earth hung below us, rounded at the edges and swaying from side to side, like a huge Christmas tree decoration- a ball on a string. (30) Fields and meadows ran below us until we saw the chimneys and houses of a large city below. (31) With a whistle in our ears, holding buckets of cherries in our shaking hands, we stepped onto the concrete field of the airfield.

(32) The end of our business project was inglorious: it turned out that here at the central market cherries go for the same price as at our bazaar. (33) Now it seems to me that this was my mother’s most successful enterprise, the most successful undertaking: the money invested in this project turned into feelings. (34) My mother and I were connected by a business in which the worlds of adults and children came into contact and thanks to which I can now feel her character in mine: I also love to read and dream about great things, and then I also jump up and go to storm the sky in search of a better life in the world. market today. (35) Unless I sell cherries...

(36) But I began to understand this only now, having matured. (37) When I remember this story, I am overcome with the desire to be in childhood, to find my mother there and tell her what I never said, what was not customary to say in our family, but what was implied, like the air around us:

- Thank you, mom, I love you.

(38) Now I can only say this in a dream, and, rising up, as if on a cornfield, I again see the earth beneath me, swaying and rounding at the edges... (39) Mom is next to me, we exchange glances. (40) We are flying on a plane, we are full of bright plans. (41) Between us we have three buckets of heavenly cherries.

(1) My childhood was wonderful. (2) As a child, there was no money, there was no interesting work, but all this was a gainful endeavor. (3) But in childhood there was a father and mother.

(4) In our family, the father always reigned with his unquestioned authority. (5) There was no place for the mother in boys' games. (6) Of course, I couldn’t live without her breakfasts, lunches and dinners, but it was so ordinary that it was unnoticeable... (7) Tenderness was not accepted in our family. (8) We didn’t kiss mom before bed and didn’t say in a fit of emotion:

- I love you...

(9) Have I told her this at least once? (10) Life was so filled with important things that there was no room for the usual: I ran home for a minute, had a snack - and again went back to where friends, games and passions were. (11) Ninety percent of me consisted of my mother’s worries, but I didn’t notice them, just as we don’t feel and don’t see the air we breathe at all.

(12) My mother and I lived nearby, but as if in different worlds. (13) These worlds came into contact only once, when a story happened that turned out to be more interesting than all the adventures and undertakings: playing football, shooting from a self-propelled gun and launching rockets.

(14) Usually my mother spent time at the stove, in the bathroom or on the sofa - reading books, I remember crying over Dostoevsky’s “Poor People”. (15) But sometimes she suddenly jumped up from the sofa, full of energy and ready for exploits. (16) She was attracted by business activity; her mother was full of the most daring business plans. (17) She loved to say: “We lived poorly - that’s enough!” (18) But her business was usually limited to dreams and laughter. (19) She shared her plans with her loved ones, and they laughed at her. (20) And in vain, because the main thing for the author of the project is self-confidence, and criticism from loved ones can destroy the sprouts of the most brilliant undertakings.

(21) And yet one day my mother was able to captivate me with her plan. (22) It was about flying on an airplane! (23) I was assigned the role of an assistant: in the morning she bought three buckets of cherries at our market, we boarded a plane and half an hour later we found ourselves in the regional center, where these same cherries could be sold for considerable profit! (24) The prospect of flying on an airplane seemed so tempting to me that I decided to support my mother in spite of all my doubts.

(25) At six o'clock in the morning, we, helping each other, shifting buckets of purchased cherries from hand to hand, dragged ourselves to the airfield. (26) On a bare field there was a trailer and a couple of green “corn farmers” were spending the night. (27) We climbed into the belly of the airplane, placed buckets under our feet, and after a short run, we soared into the air with a terrible rumble. (28) We didn’t rise above the clouds, but even the height of a couple of hundred meters at which the flight took place was breathtaking. (29) The green earth hung below us, rounded at the edges and swaying from side to side, like a huge Christmas tree decoration - a ball on a string. (30) Fields and meadows ran below us until we saw the chimneys and houses of a large city below. (31) With a whistle in our ears, holding buckets of cherries in our shaking hands, we stepped onto the concrete field of the airfield.

(32) The end of our business project was inglorious: it turned out that here at the central market cherries go for the same price as at our bazaar. (33) Now it seems to me that this was my mother’s most successful enterprise, the most successful undertaking: the money invested in this project turned into feelings.

- Thank you, mom, I love you.

(38) Now I can only say this in a dream, and, rising up, as if on a cornfield, I again see the earth beneath me, swaying and rounding at the edges... (39) Mom is next to me, we exchange glances. (40) We are flying on a plane, we are full of bright plans. (41) Between us we have three buckets of heavenly cherries.

There is an opinion that we know absolutely nothing about our own ancestors. Dense myths still grow around ancient people, while scientists discuss sensational finds and discoveries among themselves. Do you believe that yetis are Neanderthals? modern man perfect in the eyes of nature? Where did the ancient giants live and why are pig organs transplanted into people if our relatives are monkeys?

Is modern man the crown of nature?

The idea seems obvious, but there is no evidence. Yes, one study found that people with Neanderthal genes have more elongated skulls. Otherwise, this “inheritance” is manifested not in appearance, but in the functioning of the immune system and a higher likelihood of the manifestation of certain diseases.

Is it true that ancient people were narrow-minded and wild creatures?

No. Neanderthals, who disappeared about 40 thousand years ago, already used language to communicate, made complex tools and painted their bodies with ocher. Their descendants, the Cro-Magnons, lived in tents, tamed dogs, made household utensils and jewelry, and practiced funeral rites.

Primitive people lived outside the norms of morality: they led a dissolute lifestyle and killed each other. This is true?

Life in the natural world different types obeys certain rules. For example, chimpanzees fight among themselves, but rarely maim their fellow tribesmen, although they can kill relatives or other monkeys in real danger. However, their behavior in conflict is very different from the behavior of people in the 21st century.

Even modern hunter-gatherers have stricter morals than those in developed countries. This is confirmed by Stanislav Drobyshevsky, having talked with the Hadza, a tribe in East Africa: in their community everything is divided equally, lying is not practiced, there is no theft and envy. Read more about the life and culture of our ancestors Stanislav Drobyshevsky.

At what age did ancient people pass away?

Daily physical activity and injuries exhausted the body the most. The average lifespan of a Neanderthal was 30 years. But researchers have also found the remains of older people. The famous Neanderthal old man from Shanidar is an example of this: he was missing one eye and one arm, he limped, his back was very painful, and his teeth were very worn out, but he lived a long life thanks to the care of his fellow tribesmen. At the time of his death he was just over 40 years old.

If our closest relatives are monkeys, why do they say that pig organs can be transplanted into humans?

Animal organs are not transplanted into people, although they have tried: in 1963, a chimpanzee kidney was first transplanted into a person, and the organ functioned for 9 months, and in 1994, the patient received a pig liver, and the organ worked for only 30 hours, after which it was rejected. Today it is known that even a human organ does not always take root inside another person, let alone an animal.

Moreover, when testing new treatments, scientists often use mouse cells. At the molecular level, there are not many differences between mice and humans: protein synthesis in all eukaryotes is carried out by the same ribosomes.

Why were people so tall before? Maybe we are descendants of ancient alien civilizations?

Meganthropes and Gigantopithecus (up to 4 m tall) have been known to science for more than half a century, however, they are in no way connected with megalithic structures: they lived too long ago and were not interested in buildings. In addition, it has been proven that Stonehenge or the pyramid could have been built by people of our usual height and physical build.

If we consider the remains of our more developed ancestors, then we can confidently say that in comparison with them, it was we who grew up to be real giants. Large skull volume is not a sign tall: Australopithecus africanus was 1.5 m tall, although the size of the skull was larger than ours. Only the Cro-Magnons were close to us in height, reaching an average height of 183 cm. Brain volume and skull size decreased, but height and proportions increased due to a high quality of life, a rich diet, advanced medicine and the transition to a meat diet.

Is it true that our ancestors were vegetarians and therefore eating meat is unnatural?

Of course, modern traditional communities are not a copy of the ancient ones, and experts are aware of this. But these people preserved something from the ancient way of life. At least some of them make the same tools that archaeologists find at Stone Age sites. For example, the Australian Aborigines lived this way until quite recently.

To feel like you are in the place of an ancient or at least medieval person, you need to do like Pavel Sapozhnikov: go into the forest, build a hut there and live in it for several months without electricity, hot water or even matches (if you have enough will).

Would you like to repeat the adventure of Pavel Sapozhnikov and stay face to face with wild nature, far from civilization, for a month?

(1) My childhood was wonderful. (2) As a child, there was no money, there was no interesting work, but all this was a matter of gain. (3) But in childhood there was a father and mother.

(4) In our family, the father always reigned with his unquestioned authority. (5) There was no place for the mother in boys' games. (6) Of course, I could not live without her breakfasts, lunches and dinners, but it was so ordinary that it was unnoticeable... (7) Tenderness was not accepted in our family. (8) We didn’t kiss mom before bed and didn’t say in a fit of emotion:

I love you...

(9) Did I tell her this at least once? (10) Life was so filled with important things that there was no room left for the ordinary: I ran home for a minute, had a snack - and again to where friends, games and passions are. (11) Ninety percent of me consisted of my mother’s worries, but I didn’t notice them, just as we don’t feel and don’t see the air we breathe at all.

(12) My mother and I lived nearby, but as if in different worlds. (13) These worlds came into contact only once, when a story happened that turned out to be more interesting than all the adventures and undertakings: playing football, shooting from a self-propelled gun and launching rockets.

(14) Mom usually spent time at the stove, in the bathroom or on the sofa - reading books, I remember, crying over Dostoevsky’s “Poor People”. (15) But sometimes she suddenly jumped up from the sofa, full of energy and ready for exploits. (16) She was attracted by business activity; her mother was full of the most daring business plans. (17) She loved to say: “We lived poorly - that’s enough!” (18) But her business was usually limited to dreams and laughter.

(19) She shared her plans with her loved ones, and they laughed at her.

(21) And yet one day my mother was able to captivate me with her plan.

(22) It was about flying on an airplane! (23) I was assigned the role of an assistant: in the morning she bought three buckets of cherries at our market, we boarded a plane and half an hour later we found ourselves in the regional center, where these same cherries could be sold for considerable profit! (24) The prospect of flying on an airplane seemed so tempting to me that I decided to support my mother in spite of all my doubts.

(25) At six o’clock in the morning, we, helping each other, shifting buckets of purchased cherries from hand to hand, dragged ourselves to the airfield. (26) On a bare field there was a trailer and a couple of green “corn husks” were spending the night. (27) We climbed into the belly of the airplane, placed buckets under our feet, and after a short run, we soared into the air with a terrible rumble. (28) We didn’t rise above the clouds, but even the height of a couple of hundred meters at which the flight took place was breathtaking. (29) The green earth hung below us, rounded at the edges and swaying from side to side, like a huge Christmas tree decoration - a ball on a string. (Z0) Fields and meadows ran below us until we saw the chimneys and houses of a large city below. (31) With a whistle in our ears, holding buckets of cherries in our shaking hands, we stepped onto the concrete field of the airfield.

(29) Because your immediate, unintentional kindness, your selfless love will imperceptibly evoke kindness and love in people in return. (30) And then you will perceive this reverse flow not as hard-won happiness, which you had to demand and achieve, but as undeserved earthly bliss.”

(31) I finished reading my mother’s letter with tears in my eyes. (32) From the distance of the past years, I again heard her warm voice, which brought me love and comfort, like “undeserved earthly bliss.”

(33) And then I thought that our love is the thread with which we are tied to our loved one. (34) Whoever loves, his heart blooms and smells fragrant, and he gives his love like a flower gives its scent. (35) Such a person does not feel lonely.
