Summary/Abstract: The main purpose of the article is to show the opposition of nature and culture in the perspective of evolutionism in order to explain some repeatedly criticised features of school education such as school programs detached from everyday life, detachment of cognition from action or the necessity to constantly mobilise students to learn. Evolutionism alleviates the opposition of nature and culture by showing specific phases of human evolution. One of the positions presented in the article describes the evolution of man as the successive stages of adaptation to three worlds: physical, social and cultural. We carry the traces of these adaptations in ourselves today and find their influence in school education.
