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.
The synthetic theory of evolution as described by Sewell Wright attempts to explain evolution in terms of changes in gene frequencies. This theory states that a species evolves when gene frequencies changes and the species moves it to a higher level of adaptation for a specific ecological niche.
