      <abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>На основе статистических данных косвенно подкреплена гипотеза В.И. Вернадского о том, что биосфера является геологической силой, строящей поверхность и ближайшие недра планеты. По данным встречаемости находок известных особей животных и по некоторым характеристикам тектонической активности Земли обосновано наличие нескольких ранее неизвестных сокращающихся циклов (от каждого цикла к последующему соседнему, примерно в 1,51 раза, развивающихся на протяжении порядка млрд лет), что подводит к мысли о причинно-следственной связи между этими двумя разными категориями циклов. Влияние тектоники на биоту в той или иной степени давно известно. Однако из-за того факта, что упомянутые циклы носят очень ускоренный характер, трудно представить, что такая сильная ускоренность в тектонических циклах могла возникнуть вследствие внутритектонических причин, тогда как ускоренный характер биотической эволюции по внутрибиотическим причинам вполне возможен. И тогда напрашивается вывод о том, что упомянутые сокращающиеся тектонические циклы промодулировала биота. Приводятся возможные механизмы такого влияния. Для их уточнения требуются дополнительные исследования. Упомянутый вывод является революционизирующим для геологии и приоткрывает у биотической эволюции на новом количественном уровне ранее неизвестную её роль активного творца глобальных тектонических (циклических) процессов, что для эволюционной биологии тоже ново. Независимо от этих выводов упомянутая сокращающаяся цикличность представляет интерес сама по себе и впервые (статистически) свидетельствует об ускоренном характере эволюции на столь огромных промежутках времени.</p></abstract>      <trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The old hypothesis by Academician V.I. Vernadsky of the biosphere being a geological force to build the surface and immediate interior of our planet is indirectly supported based on statistical data. According to occurrence data on findings of all known animal specimens and according to some characteristics of the tectonic activity of the Earth, the presence of several previously unknown cycles shortening from cycle to cycle (approx. By a factor of 1.51) over about a billion years, is substantiated. This leads to an idea of a cause-and-effect relationship between these two different categories of cycles. The influence of tectonics on biota, to one degree or another, has long been known. However, due to the mentioned cycles being rather accelerated, it is difficult to imagine that such strong acceleration in the tectonic cycles could arise due to some intra-tectonic causes, whereas the accelerated nature of biotic evolution due to some intrabiotic causes is quite possible. So, a conclusion arises of the mentioned contracting tectonic cycles being modulated by biota. Possible mechanisms of such influence are hypothesized, their clarification requiring additional research. This conclusion is revolutionary for geology and reveals biotic evolution’s previously unknown role as an active creator of global tectonic (cyclic) processes at a new, quantitative level, which is also revolutionary for evolutionary biology. But, regardless of these conclusions, the mentioned decreasing cyclicity is of interest itself, for the first time (statistically) speaking about the accelerated nature of evolution over such vast time periods.</p></trans-abstract>
