Evolution of the Life as Improvement of Management by Energy Flows
p. 199-220
Abstract
Different mechanisms of the biosphereevolution are described in this article. The physical evolution which is the increasing of energyflow passing through the biosphere plays main role before the origin of man.This increasing is a consequence of perfection of photosynthetic possibilities of plant communities and of all biosphere system. It is shown that ihe life uses optimal evolutionary ways for physical evolution and, hence, optimal behavioural reactions in every moment of evolutionary time. The ultra-rate evolution of the modern biosphere is connected with a human activity which is not possible without informational exchange between individuals. This exchange leads to training of individuals to new ways of survival and, therefore,to modifications of ecological niches of humansub-populations and ecological licences of the biosphere. The mechanisms of both producing of new information in human community and dissemination of this information are considered. One of the important deductions of the such approach is the rates of these processes depend strongly on the parameter which is named as a priori values of information. The evolutionary modifications of the modern biosphere are interconnected not only with slow physical evolution but with very fast cognitive anticipatory evolution.
