Abstract
In his book The Genesis of Hymenoptera and Phases of Their Evolution, S.I. Malyshev not only examined the evolution of the behavior of Hymenoptera but also implicitly presented an original theoretical approach to the evolution of species-specific behavior in general. This article suggests a reconstruction of this theoretical approach. The phases of evolution of the Hymenoptera singled out by Malyshev do not conform to specific taxa. They are regular phases of evolution of behavior as a integral functional system. In the same way, Malyshev develops his hypothesis of the origin of ants and bees, distinguishing transitional behavior phases from the solitary life of the Hymenoptera to the social organization of bees and ants.
