摘要: In the form in which it was originally expounded, anthropic principle presented as a warning to astrophysical and cosmological theorists of risk error interpretation astronomical information unless due account is taken biological restraints under acquired. However, converse message also valid: run evolutionary record they take heed evolution took place. After an introductory discussion ordinary (‘weak’) its more contestable (‘strong’) analogue, new application former problem terrestrial life presented. It shown that evidence suggests chain included at least one but probably not than two links were highly improbable ( priori ) available time interval.
