  • biosocial nature of man
  • biological inheritance

  • historical process;
  • historical process of man and society development

Growing global threats questioning the future of the humankind determine the relevance of the research. Deepening of the ecological crisis, destruction of states, growing political extremism and terrorism call for scientifically proved counteraction. As any political and economic concept is based on understanding human nature, we make an attempt to figure out how biological and social inheritance affect the development of predacious and non-predacious psychological types.
We make a conclusion that the key antagonism in the human nature is the conflict between creative needs (in applying physical and spiritual powers) and consumer needs (regaining vitality).
