A general analysis of the main mechanisms of the evolutionary development of living matter is given, which can be summarized in seven major principles: (1) transformation of the simple into the complex, (2) self-organization, (3) metabolism, (4) mutagenesis, (5) committing, (6) aging, (7) pressure of intelligence. The systemic, general biological significance of these principles is shown, and their integral interdependence is noted, which, in general, ensures the evolutionary development of living matter. The positive role of mutagenesis and the aging of living tissues in the evolutionary process is emphasized. It is noted that the prospect of intellectual intervention in the further development of life is unclear. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
