The improvement in experimental facilities, often related to a direct economic interest, has led to an increase in studies on the interactions between marine animals involving chemical substances. A number of taxonomic groups have been studied as a result of this interest. It has become classical to consider separately the intra-specific interactions or regulations, which strongly influence the sexual biology and the social evolution of numerous species, and the interspecific or trans-specific interactions within the dynamic equilibrium of biocoenoses. Although arbitrary on many points, this clear differentiation has the merit of facilitating analysis of data in the literature. 

According to Vernadsky, the irreversibility of the transition into the noosphere appears to be a concept of social evolution based on the biosphere theory. The statements of Vernadsky concerning the irreversibility of the transition into the noosphere are the most debatable in his theory. One of the most illustrative examples shallibe quoted ... 

This quotation clearly shows that Vernadsky commits the methodological error of extending the methodology of natural science to the domain of social evolution. He puts human reason on the same level as the other biospherical phenomena. Humans appear to...

Our scientific heritage includes two basic questions which till now no answer was provided. One is the relation between order and disorder. The famous law of increase of entropy describes the world as evolving from order to disorder still, biological or social evolution shows us the complex emerging from the simple. How is this possible How can structure arise from disorder Great progress has been realized in this question. We know now that nonequilibrium.

In any evolutionary process, there has to be first and foremost a random mutational mechanism. What is it here In 1977, I suggested [3] that since the XVIIIth Century, it is scientific research that fulfills the role of the randomized mutational machinery for social evolution. Any important advance implies a surprise discovery, otherwise it would not be considered important, it would not represent a new departure.
