EARTH IS A SPECIAL FORM OF COSMIC LIFE

The question of motivation and drivers of evolution is raised. Today no one doubts anymore that the history of life (biosphere) and the history of the Earth are inseparable from each other. All global processes in the geospheres (separately and cumulatively) proceed in close interconnection with each other like the internal organ systems of a single living being. Material-energetic exchange between geospheres characterizes and reflects the form of planetary metabolism on the type of homeostasis. Global geodynamic processes are the universal mechanism of self-regulation which provides evolutionary transformations of both the composition of the Earth''s substance as a whole (including living matter) and the structure of the Earth itself.
