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.
  Charles Darwin proposed a mechanism-called natural selection-for how evolution takes place.   Evolution is the process by which living things become adapted to th â¦ eir environment and new species develop. The idea of evolution was already widely discussed before Darwin but there was no widely accepted mechanism.
