THE LAW OF INTERMITTENT EVOLUTION AND SELF-HEALING OF THE LIVING NATURE OF EARTH

Abstract

The living nature of the Earth has an amazing property: its evolution is intermittent, it develops in separate stages, with the mass destruction of a large part of wildlife at the end of each stage, and with the subsequent selfhealing of almost all biodiversity for hundreds of thousands or millions of years. Self-healing was due to the presence of an information base - preserved wildlife. Several major natural mass extinctions of animals and plants are known, apparently related to volcanism, space influences, etc. After mass extinctions inevitably followed periods of biodiversity restoration. This development is in line with the author's concept of branching development. Therefore, the tree of evolution is multi-tiered, step-by-step. Extinctions served as natural filters, stopping the development of unpromising species, and supporting the emergence and development of promising species. But the coming period of man-made extinction is fundamentally different from the previous ones in that there used to be a base for biodiversity restoration - natural nature. For the first time, large man-made changes in the Earth's landscapes occurred in the last 150 - 200 years, during the scientific - technological revolution; they're in a good place ...in the components of landscapes ((e.g., the vital composition of air, water, extreme foresting, the limit of the development of nature, etc.)
