Abstract
The author claims that two large transformations of the human adaptive strategy have occurred in the course of our species’ history: first, the self-preservation modification at the beginning of the anatomically modern humans’ origination; second, the spiritual abandonment of live nature two millennia before the end of the Neolithic culture. Moreover the third transformation, the shift from the predatory spiritual paradigm to the biofile paradigm, has to be undergone today. This transformation is specified with respect to the natural sciences and education system. *** Ontologia evolutiva e transformação biofílica da cultura ***O autor afirma que no curso da história da nossa espécie ocorreram duas grandes transformações na estratégia adaptativa humana: primeiro, a modificação da autopreservação no início da origem anatomicamente moderna dos humanos; segundo, o abandono espiritual da natureza viva dois milênios antes do fim da cultura neolítica. E a terceira transformação, esta a ser efetivada hoje, corresponde à mudança do paradigma espiritual predatório para o paradigma biofílico. Essa transformação é especificamente relativa às ciências naturais e ao sistema educacional.Palavras-chave: Ontologia evolutiva. Natureza. Cultura. Paradigma espiritual predatório.

The Roman Club unequivocally described the limits placed by the Nature on the long-term development of the Culture as the limits of growth some fifty years ago (Meadows, 1972)

They have remained predators but their psyche even today includes both inborn powers in a dynamic balance: an aggressive strategy and a feeling of a close unity with the Nature
Summary
Two large modifications of the human adaptive strategy have taken place in the course of our species’ history: first, the self-preservation modification at the beginning of the anatomically modern human’s origination;. This resulted in a climate change and an irreversible loss of the natural home (environmental niche) of our hominid ancestors, who had lived in the treetops of the African rainforest. Acquiring food of animal origin required completely new hunting strategies, including the use of fire, deception and suitable tools It seems that most populations of our remote ancestors had died out in that time. Šmajs – Evolutionary ontology and biofile transformation of culture contact with Greek philosophy and science and who have not accepted the predatory spiritual paradigm They have remained predators but their psyche even today includes both inborn powers in a dynamic balance: an aggressive strategy and a feeling of a close unity with the Nature.
