This work presents a fundamental paradigm reconstruction at the intersection of philosophy of science, foundational physics, and economics. It redefines core concepts of energy flow and systemic evolution, using logical deduction and historical induction rather than quantitative data. The framework aims to unify explanations for both natural and socioeconomic systems. This article aims to study human development and origin from the basic theories and methods of thermodynamics, and derives the view that "humans are users of multiple energy sources." This view clearly and effectively resolves the various contradictions in the theories of human origin. Then, the dissipative mode of dissipative structures in the basic theorems of thermodynamics is used to explain and analyze the history of human development, unify the main evolutionary lines in history, and make predictions and studies about the future of humanity.
