Science communication

Non-missing link 
In addition to his editorial activities, Drobyshevsky is actively working on his own project Non-missing Link. It is a series of articles where he discusses his views of the problems and methods of anthropology. The articles are illustrated by a series of short videos in which Drobyshevsky talks about the scientific method of studying human nature. For example, using copies of fossil skulls and skeletons, he discusses what specific parts of the skeleton are called, what the limits are of their variability within a species, which pathologies they can have, what functions they perform, which regions of the brain are responsible for them, how they are different or similar in humans and apes, and how they evolved.

In 2017, the series of articles was published as a two-volume book Non-missing link.

In media 
Drobyshevsky frequently appears on radio and television. Since March 15, 2021, he has been hosting Homo Sapiens program on RTVI.

Awards 
Drobyshevsky was awarded a prize For loyalty to science by Russian Ministry of Education and Science as Popularizer of the year 2017.
