Etymology

The term 'symbiogenetic' is derived from the combination of 'symbio-' meaning living together, and 'genetic' relating to genes or heredity. The concept of symbiogenesis was proposed by Russian botanist Konstantin Mereschkowski in the early 20th century, suggesting that the merging of different organisms through symbiosis could lead to the creation of new species. This theory challenges the traditional view of evolution based solely on competition and natural selection.
