TOWARDS THE ROLE OF THE NATURAL FACTOR IN THE PROCESS OF ETHNOGENESIS

The article analyzes the interdependence of ethnoses and nature, the influence of natural environment and space environment on ethnogenesis based on the social and philosophi- cal concept of ethnogenesis, developed by L. N. Gumilev. We have analyzed the thesis that ethnoses are come up and developed not only under the influence of terrestrial fac- tors, but also under the influence of cosmic energy. The concept proposes to use the methods of modern scientific geography to study the local features of anthropogenic bio- cenoses, micromutations that change the behavior of a person, and successions associat- ed with migration processes. We have studied the connection between the phases of de- velopment and interaction of the ethnos and the surrounding. Immoral attitude to nature is consistently associated with a decrease in the level of passionarity of the ethnic system.
