divided EN The word atom comes from the two Greek affixes, a-tom; a is the privative affix meaning deprivation; tom comes from the Greek temno (ÏÎ­Î¼Î½Ï) meaning â¦slit, slash, cut. Therefore, atom means the non-slit (further). Another example for the affix tom is the Greek word tomos (ÏÏÎ¼Î¿Ï) which also comes from the aforementioned affix tom and means volume (of a book) exactly because the volume of a book is slit in its pages.
Darwinism is a theory of biological evolution developed by the English naturalist Charles Darwin (1809-1882) and others, stating that all species of organisms arise and develop through the natural selection of small, inherited variations that increase the individual's ability to compete, survive, and reproduce.
Life history theory is a theory of biological evolution that seeks to explain aspects of organisms' anatomy and behavior by reference to the way that their life histories-including their reproductive development and behaviors, life span and post-reproductive behavior-have been shaped by natural selection.he key to life history theory is that there are limited resources available, and focusing on only a few life history characteristics is necessary. Examples of some major life history characteristics include: 1  Age at first reproductive event. 2  Reproductive lifespan and ageing.
