After taking account of the scale dependence by means of the standard DGLAP evolution equation, the theoretical predictions of the chiral quark soliton model for the unpolarized and longitudinally polarized structure functions of the nucleon are compared with the recent high energy data. The theory is shown to explain all the qualitative features of the experiments, including the NMC data for $F_2^p (x) - F_2^n (x)$, $F_2^n (x) / F_2^p (x)$, the Hermes and NuSea data for $\bar{d}(x) - \bar{u}(x)$, the EMC and SMC data for $g_1^p(x)$, $g_1^n(x)$ and $g_1^d(x)$. Among others, flavor asymmetry of the longitudinally polarized sea-quark distributions is a remarkable prediction of this model, i.e., it predicts that $\Delta \bar{d}(x) - \Delta \bar{u}(x) = C x^{\alpha} [ \bar{d}(x) - \bar{u}(x)]$ with a sizable negative coefficient $C \simeq -2.0$ (and $\alpha \simeq 0.12$) in qualitative consistency with the recent semi-phenomenological analysis by Morii and Yamanishi.
