Human ecology

Abstract

Human is a child of the Earth, a product of nature, the result of the development of the biosphere, an element of the noosphere. However, when a human moves from the biosphere, conditioned by natural factors, to the noosphere, conditioned by social factors, he can not only improve but also worsen his conditions of existence. The second tendency is more often observed in the life of modern human and finds its expression in the continuous degradation of human by the living environment. Today, we are already talking about other types of ecology – the ecology of culture, everyday life, spirit and language. Now it is to talk about the ecology of human himself. At present, the problem of ecology and human health occupies one of the most important places among the areas studying the interaction of human and nature. Human ecology approaches ecological relations from the point of view of studying the human body and its possibilities of adaptation to the environment. Human ecology, which is a part of the general ecology, is defined by the negative influence of the living environment that people change with their work.
