ABSTRACT
In the recent decades the research of the Universe as a whole has made a significant progress. This is especially clearly manifested in the development of big history (Christian, Brown and Benjamin 2013; Grinin et al. 2014; Spier 2015; Rodrigue, Grinin and Korotayev 2015, 2016, 2017; Christian 2017). Big History provides a unique opportunity to consider the development of the Universe as a single process. big history approach regards the process of evolution as a continuous and unified process from the origins of the Universe to the present state of humankind and further to the future. Cosmic, geological/biological and social phases of universal evolution have a genetic and structural continuity.
