Peter Klevius on Origin of Mosques - and Sex Trapped Princesses

Jinniushan and Floresiensis - the keys to Denisovan and the truly modern humans Jinniushan had a bigger brain than anything in contemporary Africa In Demand for Resources (1992:28 ISBN 9173288411) in a chapter about human evolution, Peter Klevius used only one example, the remarkable Jinniushan skeleton/cranium: In northern China near North Korean border an almost complete skeleton of a young man who died 280,000 years ago. The skeleton was remarkable because its big cranial volume (1,400cc) was not expected in Homo erectus territory at this early time and even if classified as Homo sapiens it was still big. The anatomically completely modern human brain volume is 1,400 cc and appeared between 50-100,000 years ago. One may therefore conclude that big brain volume by far predated more sophisticated human behavior (Klevius 1992:28). Today, when many believe the skeleton is female, the brain size becomes even more remarkable. Since 1991 when Klevius wrote...

Peter Klevius seems to be the only anthropologist today who isn't confused by incoming new data! Modern intelligent humans evolved in cold and challenging but also extremely protein rich Siberia where big headed northern Neanderthals encountered (raped) smaller but proportionally more intelligent Homo floresiensis relatives from SE-Asia. As you hopefully already knew, Homo floresiensis resided at the very place where we now see most of genetic Denisovan ancestry. Moreover, what has puzzled all other anthropologists except Klevius, is the fact that despite its extremely small brain, Homo floresiensis managed to make tools, fire, and hunt in a similar way as Homos with more than double its brain size. And although its relatives on the way up through what is now China, became slightly bigger, it was only after having met with Nanderthals (and possibly other archaic Homos) the real intellectual explosion took place, as exemplified by the extremely sophisticated Deni...
