5.1. An understanding of sociobiology.
Human development is a biological process, but it cannot be separated from the social environment. The development of human thinking and intelligence is directly and indirectly connected with the environment and social conditions. That is why the field of social biology was created. The emergence of this science was associated with the book "Sociobiology New Synthesis" by the American entomologist EO Wilson in 1975. In the concept of EO Wilson, a new view of morality, freedom, aggression, altruism, individualism and other human qualities is described. In these issues, Darwinism and problems of natural selection are discussed on the border between animal and human behavior. In solving these problems, biology and molecular genetic reductionism: anthropology is brought to biology, and biology to molecular genetics.
In the knowledge of human nature, sociobiologists said that it is necessary to introduce the theory of hereditary culture coevolution. Heredity and culture are interconnected and are considered to be the cause of many of the things that people do.
EOUilson makes sociobiology the main task of studying the social behavior of all animals and humans. Proponents of genetic culture coevolution argue that human moral intuitions are passed down through biological channels; for example: the origin of some genetic and morphological diseases when close relatives get married. In terms of aggression, wars between nations, sociobiology of interspecies struggle can be cited as an example.
Coevolution is the interaction of biology and the social environment in the development of humans in society. Man is interconnected with nature and biosphere. But nature alone cannot raise a person to the level of a mature person. A baby must communicate with other people in order to become a mature person.
In short, in human development, unlike pan-biological and pan-sociological currents, man and nature, biological processes should be viewed as a whole.
5.2. Solar cycles and human health.
AA CHizhevsky investigated the epidemic of influenza in 500 years and compared it with the activity of the sun. According to the results of comparing solar activity with the number of people suffering from cholera in Russia in 11,3-1902, AA Chizhevsky found that the flow of solar radiation and the strength of the magnetic field were high, which caused the widespread spread of various diseases, including the cholera epidemic. determines whether
The activity of thermonuclear reactions in the sun and in space changes the strength of the magnetic field on the earth, causing diseases on the earth, various disasters and ecological changes, which negatively affects the mood of people, that is, human ecology. In addition, the scientific and technical revolution of the XNUMXth century has both positive and negative effects on nature and the environment. The task of modern natural science, ecology and nature conservation is not only to use nature wisely, to study it, but also to prevent negative consequences in the future. For this, it is necessary to study the processes that take place in the biosphere in every way.
5.3. Creating a mismatch between nature and society
 
It is known that autotrophic plants play a major role in the formation of the biosphere. Plants with chlorophyll absorb sunlight and create organic substances in the process of photosynthesis. As a result of photosynthesis, plants produce 100 bln. tons of organic matter, 200 bln. tons SO2 swallows, 145 bln. tons of free oxygen. Living things, especially the plant world, eliminate the inconsistency between nature and society in order for plants to be stable.
However, during the XNUMXth century and at the beginning of the XNUMXst century, due to the rapid development of science and technology and the fact that humanity does not use underground and surface mineral resources wisely to satisfy its needs, there is an incompatibility between nature and society.
Academician VI Vernadsky talks about the way to eliminate the inconsistency between the biosphere and man, saying that the "noosphere" will solve it. Academician Yu.A. Kosygin also explains the incompatibility between nature and society. Of course, if we continue to pollute the environment by using unincorporated technology in the process of using fossil resources, an incompatible situation will arise between nature and society, and global (big) environmental problems will arise.
"mathematical models of nature protection", "war and peace" long-term modeling works in order to resolve and prevent major problems between nature and society, i.e. crises, conflicts, conditions of war and peace in the "noosphere" is being conducted.
 
 
5.4. Missile - environmental impact of nuclear weapons and human health
 
The biosphere can be destroyed by military warfare. Of all factors, the strongest influence on the environment is the war, the current accumulation of missile-nuclear weapons. This disaster will bring great disaster not only to people, but also to the biosphere.
Currently, the power of all weapons is equal to 1200 megatons. The power of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima on August 1945, 6 was 5 mt. This was equal to the energy output of the trinitulol bombs detonated in World War II.
A nuclear war is a disaster for all living things in the biosphere. Because nuclear explosions produce a lot of nitrogen oxides. These nitrogen oxides are 22-30 km into the atmosphere. reacts with the ozone layer at altitude and destroys ozone. As a result, as a result of the increase in the amount of ultraviolet rays coming from the sun and space on the earth, living beings can get light disease and perish, including humans. Because the ozone layer transmits a small amount of ultraviolet light to us and preserves the biosphere and the ecological system on earth. In addition, in environmental pollution, substances such as various gases, heavy metal ions, phenol, carbon, benzene, pyrene accumulate in the atmosphere and form a layer called "smog" in the lower part of the atmosphere. As a result of this formed layer, the sun's rays increase the heat under the closed film in the greenhouse, and the temperature rises on the ground, causing a catastrophe called the "greenhouse effect". As a result of the increase in temperature on the earth, the glaciers melt and lead to flood disasters.
If nuclear weapons are used in conflicts between states, one of the problems called "nuclear winter" will arise, which will completely change the biosphere and human conditions.
Powerful atomic and hydrogen bombs were detonated, and as a result of the wars, huge areas were set on fire, and 100-200 million were destroyed. tons of smoke is released into the environment. In addition, atomic and hydrogen bombs raise thousands of tons of dust up to a height of 20 km and circle the surface of the earth for 29 days, reducing the intensity of solar radiation reaching the earth by 10-100 times. As a result, the temperature will drop by 15-20°С, the ripening of agricultural crops will be delayed, most of the northern regions will be covered with ice, and it will be winter-like.
If 5000 mt bombs are used, the "nuclear winter" will last 100 days. If 10000 mt bombs are used, the average temperature will drop from 300°C to 10°C for up to 20 days. That is why this disaster is called "nuclear winter" and it is said that it is necessary for humanity to use nature's gifts, sources, and wealth wisely.
In the Russian annals, the consequences caused by the forest fire since 1092 have been written a lot. Since the fire in 1371, wild animals roamed among people during the day, with only the disk of the sun visible. In 1915, 120 sq. m. km, the wheat ripened half a month late and the yield dropped dramatically. In 1950, as a result of a fire in Alberta, Canada, smoke was observed at an altitude of 8-10 km in the Atlantic Ocean and in Western Europe.
The fire in 1972 covered the distance from the White Sea to the Black Sea, extending to 200 km at a width of 400-6000 km, rising to a height of 5 km, reducing the temperature and intensity of sunlight. As can be seen from the above facts, nuclear wars will lead to more disasters as a result of fires. In case of global nuclear conflicts on earth, in addition to "nuclear winter" disasters, severe fire, wind , the conditions in the atmosphere and biosphere change completely as a result of temperature changes. From the explosions of atomic and nuclear weapons, radioactive pollution, aerosols, atmospheric warming, heat radiation from the earth's surface, explosions of dust volcanoes, such important processes occur, which lead to the complete extinction of some species of living beings.
Especially as a result of radioactive pollution, there is a danger of destroying a living being with "light sickness". Because effective methods of treatment of radiation sickness have not been found so far, the effects of treatment of radiation sickness with endogenous protective substances do not exceed 10-15%.
