Do you know where the word meme comes from? (1 Viewer)

[Ahsoka]

It comes from the Greek word mimema, meaning imitated thing. It was shortened to be similar to the word gene. This term was coined by the scientist Richard Dawkins, who used it to describe evolutionary principles regarding spread of cultural phenomena and ideas.
