RISK and BIOSAFETY OF MODERN BIOTECHNOLOGIES Trans-disciplinary approach. Study guide for students majoring in "molecular biology and biotechnology"

The guide explains the basic concepts of natural, social and evolutionary components and methods of risk management and control of modern biotechnologies stemming from the general theory of human evolution. A a transdisciplinary approach is a feature of the presentation of the material The risk is considered from the point of view of evolutionary anthropology, as a basic element of a stable evolutionary strategy of our biological species and the basis of a combination of natural-scientific and humanitarian forms of presentation and interpretation of the material.
