SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
Patterns of thought about human place in nature and organic evolution are discussed. Basic reasons for placing humans among mammals rather than considering them biologically exceptional are given. The historical origin of the, still currently used, taxonomy of living things that classifies them into distinct static categories is discussed as an impediment to the understanding of the variable and dynamic nature of life. This dynamic nature of life producing variable organisms in every generation makes evolution an inevitable process commonly occurring today same as it has occurred in the past.
