Berezina, T. N. Reserve potentials of the human

Abstract: Abstract: the article is devoted to the place of extrasensory faculties in human evolution. The author is analyzing works about parapsychological phenomena which has been published over the past two centuries. It is shown that there has been no dynamics in those publications, their authors mostly carry out similar experiments and suggest similar hypotheses. The author of the article has marked the paradoxical nature of parapsychological phenomena, - nobody can prove they do exist but nobody can prove that they don’t, either. The article contains examples of similar phenomena encountered by the other species such as the primary organisms, worms, Cephalopods, birds and monkeys. The author suggests that any new formation or phenomenon occurs twice during evolution: first time as an instable “accident” and only then, in following species, as a stable faculty. It is quite possible that extrasensory faculties are nothing else but aromorphosis of the species coming up to take the place of the modern humankind.
