Abstract. The article briefly examines the history of the evolution of the Universe and the Solar system, with an emphasis on the development of life on planet Earth, the evolution of the biosphere before and after the appearance of man, as well as human development and the building of a socio-economic society. The entire evolution from the inanimate to the living, from the unintelligent to the intelligent, is determined by the development of the entire ecological system (biosphere) in which humanity exists, i. e. anthropogenesis is part of the evolution of the planet Earth — the genesis of systems that are in constant motion towards complexity and ordering. Even if we accept that humanity was brought to our planet by extraterrestrial civilizations, where it originated, it had to go through its evolutionary path in its ecological environment, and then adapt to terrestrial conditions. But human society can be a natural product of the development of the biota of our Solar system and planet Earth. Human evolution was accompanied by the development of walking upright, the improvement of the arm structure, the complication of the brain structure and an increase in its mass relative to body weight. An important factor was the increase in the importance of meat food, as well as the postponement of puberty and the lengthening of childhood. All this has led to the emergence of conceptual thinking, articulate speech, and the ability to create culture. Homo Sapiens completed anthropogenesis, displaced other homo representatives and complicated social relations. A social society can develop both along the path of innovation and along the traditional path, and both opposite processes are equally important in the existence of any society. Humanity needs traditional culture as an anchor for a ship, as roots for plants. It is able to preserve the positive things that humanity as a whole and each community individually have accumulated in the process of social evolution. Therefore, any traditional culture preserves the laws of natural conformity, which are also determined by dominant cosmic rhythms. For her, the unity of humanity and the environment in a single ecological system, the biosphere, is important.
