Jacob Bell at Classical Wisdom.
"A very general use of the term evolution refers to a particular order of change or growth within the natural world. While this term didn’t quite have an equivalent in ancient Greece, the concept behind the term was developed by a number of Greek and Roman philosophers. Namely Anaximander, Empedocles, and Lucretius."
