The article - based on the latest results - reconstructs the main steps of human evolution. It identifies the most important 'revolutions' and analyses their effects on the 'behaviour-programmes' of the Homo. These 'programmes' are built on each other, and determine the individual and social behaviour of humans. These evolutionary steps and behaviour-programmes are analysed by different social sciences, such as human ecology, sociobiology, evolutionary psychology, and subsequently by cultural anthropology. The article argues that it is useful to differentiate between the steps of the emergence of the modern human and symbolic 'revolution' and later, between the neolith and institutional revolution.

The article analyses the concepts and model of social evolution. The most important concepts of biological evolution (mutation, selection, evolution, micro-evolution, selective pressure, environment of evolutionary adaptation, evolutionary stable strategy) are taken for granted and adapted to describe some important phenomena of sociology, with their necessary adaptation to social 'institutions'. The article argues that in sociology one should use the concept of evolution as precisely as in biology. It analyses certain similarities and important differences of the two types of the evolutionary processes: the Darwinian and the Lamarckian ones. Based on the proposed concept of social evolution, it outlines the model and contour of evolutionary sociology.
