Abstract

More than 3,5 billion years ago first cells were formed on Earth. About one billion years ago, higher organisms - first with external skeleton next with internal skeleton - were formed. There are five million species still living on Earth now. The author of the text presents modern biological experimental material that lets us explain the sequence of processes that led to genesis of this stunning variety of living forms. The article deals mainly with genesis of the first cells as well as the six laws of development on realization of which the formation of higher organisms is based. The process of self formation was caused by genic and above genic factors. Cells are dividing and creating populations where they behave according to the rules of the six laws. The key words for the six laws of self formation are respectively:

- adhesion of cells (for the first law),

- the ability to form multiplayer populations (for the second law),

- critical number of cells (for the third law),

- cell interconnection (for the fourth law),

- local cell differentiation (for the fifth law),

- orientation of embryonal cells (for the sixth law).

According to the author’s opinion, the method of self formation was usetd by nature while creating in DNA of cells a great number of organisms forms, including man, who was created as every other organism on Earth.
