The researchers stressed that perhaps tens of millions of years ago, cockroaches and humans have a common ancestor.

American scientists during the research was able to prove that some insects, namely cockroaches, as people use special receptors in the brain for orientation in space. The researchers also stressed that perhaps tens of millions of years ago, cockroaches and humans have a common ancestor.

Employees of Case Western Reserve University conducted experiments on the cockroaches in their orientation in space, and made a sensational discovery. This subspecies of insects is analogous to GPS that is built into the brain. Scientists stressed that the same orientation in space are rats and humans.

As experiment test subjects were placed in a special container that is shaped like a long tube on a movable platform in a clockwise and in the opposite direction. Also, the wall around it was painted black, and in the middle as a reference was a white square.

Insects were able to pass the test as a lighthouse, and without it. In the experiment, it was observed that cockroaches are the same person activates the sensors of the brain
