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.
...Darwins theory of evolution by natural selection is the foundation upon which genetic variation exists. It is the general principle of natural selection that those features and characters that are âclose to reproductive fitness and viability are allowed only limited differences within the speciesâ (Scarr, 1991).
