Sažetak
Genetic discoveries and their application in nature (cloning of animals and plants) have announced the end of biological spontaneity (birth, life and death of many animal and plant species) in nature. The forced coexistence of natural and cloned individuals is reflected in the extinction of many biological individuals that had for ages been part of nature. The results of this new revolution will show the strength and the power of both types of individuals in the struggle for survival. The scientific power of humans, i.e. cloning, guarantees their immortality as a species. It will soon be discovered what other plant and animal species will be made immortal by humans. Charles Darwin’ s theory of evolution can no longer be seen as a direction for the future development. We also need to take it into account that many species go extinct, but many more are created every day. What is the relationship between the cloned and natural individuals in nature? What are the real directions of natural evolution? Can they be established at all?
