Meme Fun Facts
- Origin of the Word "Meme": The term meme was coined by British evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins in his 1976 book The Selfish Gene. He used it to describe an idea, behavior, or style that spreads within a culture, much like genes spread biological traits.
- The Word’s Roots: The word meme comes from the Greek word mimema, meaning "something imitated." Dawkins shortened it to meme (to sound like gene), reflecting the idea of cultural transmission or imitation.
- First Internet Meme: One of the first viral internet memes is often considered to be the "Dancing Baby" (also known as Baby Cha-Cha-Cha) from 1996, a 3D-rendered baby doing a strange dance. It spread widely via email and early internet forums.
