Abstract
Anthropogenesis is closely connected with Eurasia, because on its territory homo sapiens formed the first civilizations, carried out technological revolutions and created humanitarian innovations: law, state, university, limitation of power, constitution, civil liberties. Humanitarian technologies have their own life cycle: birth, cultural expansion, plateau, saturation, institutionalization. Interest in law as a humanitarian technology distinguishes Western civilization from Eastern civilization. The use of legal procedures has shaped the modern type of technologically innovative society, whose pace of social change now dictates the intensive formatting of the remaining traditional societies. The concept of human rights is promoted as a universal, the most important humanitarian technology, along with the constitution and the separation of powers. Today, these constructs appear to be reliable, stable, and, in fact, eternal ideals. At the same time, their genesis is historical, they are conditioned by political-economic and socio-technical circumstances of humanity's development. The author does not support the forecast of further progressive evolution of human rights and points to the risks of degradation of the achieved guidelines in connection with reaching the limits of socio-economic growth. In this regard, parallel processes of archaization and neo-traditionalism are natural along with modernization.
