AbstractThis article explores the evolution of solar energy accumulation throughout the geological and biological history of Earth. The author systematically analyzes key stages — from thermodynamic and hydrological processes on the early Earth to the emergence of chlorophyll, the launch of photosynthesis, the accumulation of glucose, and the appearance of triglycerides as a more stable form of energy storage.Special attention is given to the role of triglycerides in the development of multicellular organisms, including animals, birds, and mammals. The article substantiates the idea that energetic metabolic strategies shape not only physiology but also cognitive structures, including the phenomenon of Mind.A philosophical interpretation is proposed, viewing Mind as a form of purposeful energy distribution, and evolution as a process of energetic self-awareness. The article concludes with a reflection on the potential transformation of Mind into artificial forms and the necessity of understanding the biochemical foundations of energy accumulation as a condition for the survival of civilization.
