SaNtRaUkaStraipsnis pateikia monocentrinės ir policentrinės, arba multiregioninės, teorijos atstovų suformuluotas ginčytinas hipotetines žmonių populiacijų lokalizacijos versijas; apibrėžia pirmųjų žmonių migracijos afrikos kontinente tikslus ir kryptis (į pietus, šiaurę ir rytus); analizuoja migraciją iš afrikos kaip esminę antropogenezės stadiją ir jos motyvus: staigią klimato kaitą, hominidų pažintinių gebėjimų ir smegenų tobulėjimą, perėjimą prie naujo maisto ir naujos maitinimosi strategijos, prisitaikymą gyventi atvirose erdvėse, morfopsichologinius pakitimus. SUmmaRY the article represents the disputable hypothetical versions of the localization of the representatives of the Homo formulated by representatives of the monocentric and polycentric, or multiregional, theories. the purposes and directions (southern, northern and eastern) of migrations of the first representatives of the Homo within the african continent have been determined. the motives of their migration beyond the african continent as a key stage of anthropogenesis have been analysed. they are: ecological factor considered as a sharp change in the climate; development of cognitive abilities in hominids, i.e. the progressive improvement of the brain; transition to a new food strategy; adaptation to open spaces, morphophysiological changes.

The article discusses a new hypothesis of coevolutionary-macromutational origin of human language, through the prism of which this planetary-noospheric phenomenon is proposed to be considered as a natural artifact of holisticsynergetic coevolution of nature, society and culture. The following assumption has been suggested: the proposed hypothetical idea is a resonance of the former two philosophical theories: the fusion theory and the thesis theory, which were regarded by scientists either as natural or artificial (conventional / conditional) nature of human language. At the same time, they did not completely deny the origin of the human language as a result of various types of activities. The represented arguments helped to confirm the views of anthropologists, culturologists and other scholars. The creation of various artifacts (tangible and intangible) took place in all stages of evolution: geogenesis – biogenesis – psychogenesis – anthropogenesis and at a subsequent stage of Homo sapiens. However, language as the most important product of global evolutionism was formed at the stage of anthropogenesis, in particular as a corollary to the molecular mutations of human brain. The term “coevolution” has been transferred to the sphere of linguoanthropogenesis. In conjunction with the hypothesis of macromutation the natural artifact origin of human language is consistently explained under the scenario of biogenesis – sociogenesis – culturogenesis. The essence of the hypothetical result is that a qualitatively new driving force for the continuation of this scenario can be noospherogenesis, which is determined by historical and cultural development of mankind, its activities in all spheres of life and, most importantly, by the planetary high-tech mind.

The monograph represents a new interpretation of the relationship between the phenomenon of a Man and the triad of LANGUAGE -CULTURE -DISCOURSE. Taking into account the new cognitive-discursive approach, the authors made an attempt to harmonize their scientific observations with the content of the studied macrolinguistic issues in three parts of the monograph. A general methodology was developed for analysis of factual material. The key narratives of each type of discourse reproduce the value constants and dominants of ethnic groups at various stages of civilizational and planetary development. The concept of the monograph is the triad of LANGUAGE -CULTURE -DISCOURSE that is interpreted as an extremely complex synergistic continuum of an open type, which takes on material form with the participation of a Man, i.e. a representative of certain social communities and, at the same time, a generator of various types of speech, which ensures efficient communication of its participants.
