Answer:

Explanation:

The concept of the atom originated round 440 BC. Leucippus of Miletus came up with the idea. ... Atoms were impenetrably hard, meaning they could not be divided. In Greek, the prefix "a" means "not" and the word "tomos" means cut. Our word atom therefore comes from atomos, a Greek word meaning uncuttable.

Melissa is interested in her family tree and how her family has changed over its many generations. Melissa probably more closely
tresset_1 [31]

Answer: A Confucian

Explanation:

In the year 2005, the Guinness Book of World Records recognized the Confucius genealogical line as the longest family tree in history. They have a record of 86 generations over 2,500 years. Confucius (551 to 479 BCE) is believed to have about 3 million descendants all over the world.

So the interest Melissa has in her family tree and also wanting to know how her family has changed over its many generations probably suggests that Melissa more closely resembles a Confucian.
