Savelyev is criticized by specialists in those areas in which he tries to make statements outside of his own specialty. Savelyev is a neurophysiologist. As far as I know, he is a recognized and respected author of the famous atlas. But as an anthropologist, he is not an educated specialist. Other anthropologists do not recognize his ideas and do not agree with them. Since a pseudoscientist is a person who pretends to be a scientist, Savelyev, who insists on being right even after a devastating criticism of him, is a pseudoscientist. But only as an anthropologist. This is a common situation, often scientists go beyond their competence and, being good mathematicians or biologists, become pseudo-historians or pseudo-religious scholars.
The professor does not know about neurogenesis in humans, disputes sports activities, calling them harmful to the brain, makes absolutely baseless claims about meditation, although there are quite a lot of interesting studies on this topic that completely contradict his statements. At a minimum, we can say that the professor uses outdated data, is prone to superficial judgments.
People involved in sports, he contemptuously calls physical culture students. What prevents a person from exercising and jogging in the morning, and then doing mental activity? Does sport immediately completely discourage the ability to work intellectually?
