Abstract: | Background: The infection with the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 has caused a large number of cases of disease and death worldwide. Identifying the
source of COVID-19 is an important issue though still unresolved. The analysis of the literature on highlighting possible sources of the SARS-CoV-2
virus was carried out.
Conclusions: The COVID-19 pandemic is occurring on the underlying imminent global ecological catastrophe as a result of the anthropogenic activity.
Therefore, it can be stated that Homo Sapiens in the context of the interaction with the biosphere is a maladaptive species. According to the literature,
the species’ adaptive responses to environmental changes are due to endogenous retroviruses. The latter act as evolutionary factors. Possible pandemic
COVID-19 is not a separate epidemic process caused by the penetration of a new virus into human populations, but rather is one of the manifestations
of a more complex natural phenomenon – an evolutionary process under the guise of an infectious one. In terms of evolution, COVID-19 plays the role
of a biosphere factor that seeks to help a relatively new species to adapt to the general conditions of survival in a symbiotic relationship with other living
organisms. |
