Epistemological foundations for modeling of cognitive evolution are characterized. Cognitive evolution is the evolution of cognitive abilities of biological organisms. The important result of this evolution is the human thinking, which is used at scientific cognition of nature. The related epistemological viewpoints of David Hume, Immanuel Kant, Konrad Lorenz, and Eugene Wigner are outlined. The sketch program for future investigations of cognitive evolution is proposed; initial models of these studies are outlined. According to the presented analysis, it is possible to believe the following. Investigations of cognitive evolution are directed to analyze the fundamental problems: “Why is human thinking applicable to cognition of nature?”, “How did human thinking origin in the process of biological evolution?” There are powerful backgrounds for considered investigations: (1) models of autonomous cognitive agents, (2) biological investigations of animal cognitive features. Studies of cognitive evolution would have broad interdisciplinary relations. These studies should contribute significantly to the development of the scientific point of view.
