[Human ontogenesis from a behavioral biological viewpoint].

General aspects of the human ontogenesis are analyzed theoretically from the view point of behavioural biology. The functional integration of the three levels of individual development--actual genesis, ontogenesis, phylogenesis--leads the author to the term "hologenesis". Based on the concept of hologenesis developmental problems are discussed in terms of behavioural biology. In this context behaviour is defined as the organismic interaction with the environment on the basis on information of the hologenetic process. Behavioural data on fetal, neonatal, and postnatal life are discussed in relation to interaction with the peristatic milieu.

[Biological basis of behavior regulation].

A changing of the information is taken as basis for the behaviour of the organism. While the metabolism produces a connective relation with the environment, the changing of the information delivers an informational relation. The two processes are essential constituents of the organism as an open system for the maintenance and the increase of the negentropy. The informational connection with the environment is primarily non-communicative (the recipient performs the verification of the meaning of the signs with meaning). On the basis of the changing of information three environments may be differed: (1) the own environment (telereceptoric informations on the own body), (2) the informational environment and (3) the communicative environment (common alphabet). The most important determinants of the behavior which connect the organism with its informational environment are pretensions to space, time, metabolism and changing of form. In the communicative environment there may be pretensions to territory, sex, care and social ones. In organism the behaviour is above all determined by vigilance, emotion, motivation, memory (storage), selector (and receptor) as well as operator (and effector). The comparative behavioural sciences allow certain universal evidence on the basis of such parameters. Here also constituents of the human behaviour can be seized.
