The second section concerns physical, cybernetic and anticipatory aspects of the life evolution. The different approaches to the problems of biological evolution are discussed in the third section of the article. The attention is focused on the biosphere evolution, which is regarded as the control factor for the biological evolution. In the fourth section the problem of the origin of life is discussed. One of the conclusions is the mechanism of panspermic hypothesis could work only if the conditions on planet has specific features which can be described within a framework of so called the embryosphere hypothesis.
