The early evolution of man marks the junction between the history of nature and the history of society. Man arose due to the progress of life and he himself is the embodied progress. Man is the mode of existence of mobilization structures, which constitute the third level of cosmic evolution. The first level, inanimate nature, is organized and ordered by mobilization structures that control movement. The second, living nature, is formed by special mobilization structures that are not indifferent to their own state and direct their activity in the form of biological work to optimize this state. The third level, the human being, is a way of existence of mobilization structures that are not indifferent to their own state, to the state of society, and to the state of the surrounding cosmos, directing their activity in the form of regular work to transform the world and themselves according to their own, human standards.
