Explanation
The "Gaia Theory" was proposed by James Lovelock,
a British scientist, and Lynn Margulis, an American biologist. The theory suggests that the Earth functions as a self-regulating system, where living organisms and the physical environment interact to maintain conditions suitable for life. The name "Gaia" comes from Greek mythology, where Gaia is the goddess personifying the Earth. The Gaia Theory has had a significant impact on the fields of ecology, earth science, and environmentalism.
