Ectoplasm
is always a great word to know.
So is neo-Darwinism. Does it mean:
| any modern theory of evolution holding that species evolve by natural selection acting on genetic variation |
| any alteration in the structure of an organism resulting from natural selection, by which the organism becomes more able to survive in its environment |
