Perhaps this 19th century notion was indeed a revolutionary idea at the time when it has been introduced. However, now it seems that natural selection hypothesis most probably is wrong. It does not explain, above all, why biological organization arise in the course of evolution. I show, on a rather abstract level of consideration, that exists another explanation why this intriguing phenomenon - life evolution - take place. Here it is argued that biological organization is solely a product of self-replication. AV - public KW - self-replication KW - competition KW - logistic equation KW - natural selection ER -
