La fonction des thrènes dans le témoignage de la mort et la pérennisation des trépassés dans la mémoire collective bafia (1880-1944)
Authors:   Université de Dschang-Cameroun, EDONG Léopold Sédar
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The death of young people is a rupture for the survival of the Bafia lineages. This kind of death is pathetic because it is punctuated by tears and driven by feelings of despair. Women have composed
laments to denounce the roundups of this type of death. The extinction of patriarchs, on the contrary, is perceived as the crowning achievement of a glorious earthly journey. If the journey is well accomplished, it allows the deceased patriarchs access to the other village. Beyond the mortuary and funerary rituals, the society has organised itself to address prayers to the previous deaths and to praise the bravery of the one who has just died. The semantic field of these songs traces the genealogies of the deaths and contributes to safeguarding the acts of bravery of the deceased patriarchs in the collective memory. The main question of this article is the following:
How do the laments denounce the roundups resulting from the death of young people? How do the chanted prayers addressed to the deaths manage to establish their genealogies and preserve their heroism in the collective memory? To achieve this, we will apply participant observation and musical score of the audio-visual tapes recorded in the field. At the end, we will cross-check the transcribed melodies according to the living traditions of the land.
Key words: Bafia, threnodies, genealogies, patriarchs,
achievements.

Sangomar : un mythe, des ressources, un environnement de production
Authors: SOUMARE Mame Arame
Published: January 2025

Abstract:
Several decades of aspiration for development, a concept that remained at the stage of a political slogan, justify the desire to design objects, approaches and methods of scientific research likely to support a lasting science-society-nature partnership for a common well-being. The permanent society-environment exchanges attested by the functioning of ecosystems call for more attention to their true foundations. Classified as a biosphere reserve by UNESCO (1981) and rich in the diversity of its ecosystems, the Saloum delta is the setting for our research (2009-2015) focusing on the intangible foundation of the centuries-old valorization of natural resources. This article is intended to be a contribution to the knowledge of the « Sangomar » myth, an unshakeable belief of the Niominka sereer, a source of endogenous knowledge that can be used to develop inclusive sciences in the service of environmental sustainability.

Les principes de construction d’un imaginaire sociétal dans le pekaan1 de Gellaay Aali Faal2 à la génération actuelle3 des chantres de ce genre communautaire
Authors: Diop Hamet Maimouna
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The creations of Gellaay's pekaan and those of the current generation all serve as channels to transmit a set of ideologies specific to Pulaar society as a whole and the Subalɓe community
in particular. Even when young people integrate new technologies into their creations, they remain bearers of traditional values such as dignity, the cult of work, the sense of honor, courage...This study on a corpus, made up of some productions by Gellaay Aali Faal and some of the current generation chosen for their richness, aims to show how the pekaan follows the pace of the evolution of the
digital environment without breaking this essence of utility of community speech by this reminder of the exploits of the heroes. Then the study of the deeds of our heroes establishes the mechanisms and structures of our ideal of life.

L’iboga. Un patrimoine naturel,culturel et national au service du monde
Authors: IDOMBA MBOUKOUABO Claire Versuela
Published: January 2025

Abstract:
This article aims to present "iboga," also known as "sacred wood," as an endogenous knowledge used traditionally in the spiritual and medicinal rituals of the people of Gabon during initiation ceremonies such as bwiti, mumbwiri, and many other rites. This plant, considered a natural,cultural, and national heritage, allows for transcendence between physical and invisible worlds through its consumption in powdered form during an initiation ceremony. While Marc Kaba in "Voie sacrée" describes the psychological, social, and spiritual virtues of this plant through narration, medical science, through the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), began prescribing its substance (ibogaine) as part of a drug dependency treatment protocol for humans in the early 1990s. Thus, it highlights how this national heritage is an asset to modern medicine. Beyond its traditional uses, ibogaine (an alkaloid substance) has attracted international attention due to its potential for treating addiction, particularly opioid addiction and other substances.

Savoirs environnementaux et circulations : perspectives géohistoriques situées depuis la Caraïbe
Authors: Boukhris Linda
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This article raises the question of circulations in the production and transmission of environmental knowledge in the Caribbean context. Based on a geo-historical analysis from the Caribbean region of Costa Rica, the article opens up perspectives to think about local environmental knowledge and spatial sense of belonging shaped through circulations. It also questions modes of engagement with the environment that are rooted within memories and experiences of resistance to social and ecological violence. The article thus focuses on Black ecologies made invisible by the scientific epistemology of tropical ecology, and proposes to think about local knowledge outside the traditionally privileged category of indigeneity in the context of the Americas.

Conservation des pratiques cultuelles traditionnelles chez les Lebu du Sénégal. Folie ou génie d’un peuple ?
Authors: SAMBA Moussa
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This article seeks to demonstrate the uniqueness of the Lebu group
in the Dakar region. This community, settled in Dakar for nearly 6
centuries, has developed a fertile imagination around tutelary
geniuses with cultic practices jealously guarded despite the very
strong Islamization of sub-Saharan West Africa and French
colonization. These are religious but fundamentally redemptive
ceremonies through the sacrifice of an animal and libations. The
famous sessions of tuuru and ndëp in Senegal are organized by the
members of this community for the treatment of psychological or even
psychosomatic disorders. Moreover, the term ndëp, an element of the
intangible cultural heritage of the Lebu, has been adopted by the
Senegalese and is regularly adapted to political discourse in times of
crisis to evoke the need to practice collective psychotherapy on a national scale. Cliquez ici pour ajouter le résumé en anglais (une

POLYPHENOLS IN PLANT-BASED FOODS: IMPLICATIONS FOR HEALTH, ANTIOXYDANTACTIVITY, COMPOSITION FACTORS, AND PROCESSING APPROCHES: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Authors: Elqarnifa S. , Alahyane A.
Published: January 2025

Polyphenols are bioactive compounds found in plants, with diverse health benefits and antioxidant properties. They have anti-inflammatory, anti-carcinogenic, antidiabetic, antiviral activity and heart-protective effects. Research links polyphenol rich foods to a lower risk of chronic diseases like cardiovascular issues, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders. For instance, resveratrol in grapes and red wine shows promise in protecting against age-related diseases, and polyphenols like quercetin and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) provide significant antioxidant and anti inflammatory benefits. These bioactive compounds play a crucial role in reducing oxidative stress and mitigating the risk of chronic diseases, though the antioxidant capacity varies among different types of polyphenols. However, the main problem lies in the variability and optimization of polyphenol content and bioavailability, which are influenced by genetic, environmental, and agronomic factors. Plant species, maturity, climate, soil conditions, and agricultural practices all affect polyphenol composition.

The Concealed Values of Langolewwo’s Cultural Preservation
Authors: Karim Syaban Abdul , Hidayati Husnul , Rasidi Muhamad Ahyar
Published: January 2025

The diversity of tribes, races, and languages is a privilege, and harmonious living is necessary. This study aims to navigate the values contained, supporting and inhibiting factors and efforts to preserve cultural heritage. This article uses a qualitative approach, including a literature review, interviews, and observations. The study results indicate that efforts to preserve cultural heritage are carried out by providing protection, development, and utilization. Of the three efforts, the community has not been able to develop and utilize it optimally. This is due to the lack of financial resources, and there is no direction for commercialization policies for tourism, economic, and business interests to improve community welfare. Furthermore, in preserving cultural heritage, some supporting factors include high community participation and government support but a lack of financial assistance and an inadequate development and economic-interest administrative system. The values of religious moderation contained in the preservation of cultural heritage include respect for tradition and tolerance, the creation of balanced justice, and prioritizing the public interest. The theoretical implications contribute to preserving cultural heritage by adding added value and practically advising the community to utilize their cultural wealth by continuing to transform existing developments.
A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF EUROPEAN EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS IN THE LATE 80S AND EARLY 90S: COMETT, ERASMUS, PETRA, LINGUA, TEMPUS, AND EUROTECNET
Authors:   Ovidius University of Constanţa, Romania, COROBAN Costel , MARINESCU GÎLĂ Cristina-Iulia ,   Ovidius University of Constanţa, Romania
Published: January 2025

This study delves into the impact of key European educational programs launched between the late 1980s and early 1990s, namely COMETT, Erasmus, PETRA, Lingua, TEMPUS, and Eurotecnet. These initiatives represented a concerted effort to foster deeper cooperation within the European Community, focusing on enhancing educational and vocational training opportunities. The COMETT program was instrumental in connecting academia with the labor market and advancing technology training but did not adequately support vulnerable groups such as women, ethnic minorities, and the unemployed. ERASMUS and PETRA contributed significantly to student mobility and youth vocational training, though PETRA struggled to directly address rising youth unemployment. LINGUA focused on enhancing foreign language skills, vital for fostering European integration, while TEMPUS facilitated educational reforms in post-communist Central and Eastern Europe. EUROTECNET promoted innovation in vocational training by integrating new technologies but faced challenges related to consistency across member states. Despite these initiatives’ successes in modernizing the educational systems and enhancing European competitiveness, many programs prioritized economic and technological objectives over social inclusion. Vulnerable groups often remained underrepresented in these reforms. However, these early efforts laid the groundwork for later programs like Leonardo da Vinci and SOCRATES, which aimed to balance competitiveness with social equity. The article calls for further research on the human impact of these programs, particularly regarding youth unemployment and the inclusion of marginalized groups
GLOBAL RESEARCH DYNAMICS ABOUT PUBLIC DEBT: RISING PUBLIC DEBT AND THE EUROPEAN FISCAL UNION
Authors: Ciocirlan Cecilia
Published: January 2025

This paper aims to bring Romanian research on public debt into the international spotlight, contextualizing it within the rising global debt levels caused by recent economic crises, such as the global financial crisis and the Covid-19 pandemic. The main goal is to highlight the importance of local research, often overlooked, while analyzing public debt through both global and local lenses. The first part of the paper analyzes the intensifying effects of globalization, accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic, and the shift in how public debt is perceived, with a growing focus on investments and budget deficits. It also examines the challenges faced by decision-makers in managing debt sustainability, particularly the tension between political priorities and fiscal realities. The second part provides an empirical analysis of recent studies on the rise of global public debt, political economy factors, and credit cycles. The third section outlines the difficulties in governing public debt in the European Union due to the absence of a fiscal union and explores the concept of an optimal monetary zone. One of the central political issues raised is the tendency of politicians, especially in advanced economies, to exploit public debt for short-term electoral gains.
GLOBALISATION AND THE PERPETUITY OF POVERTY IN THE CONTEMPORARY SECURITY ENVIRONMENT
Authors: Liseanu Rodica
Published: January 2025

Poverty, one of the most pressing and long-standing fundamental problems of the contemporary world, claims imbalances both at the base of Maslow’s pyramid – mortality, disease, hunger or malnutrition, absence of rest, sleep or quality life, lack or insecurity of shelter, employment, social exclusion, conditioning of love, sense of belonging, and at the top – failure to fulfil potential, low self-esteem, mistrust, lack of identity, lack of creativity, spontaneity, dignity. Although globalisation has actively contributed to the eradication of absolute poverty, it persists in terms of relative poverty. Poverty is a perennial, persistent problem, even within the European Union. The present article aims to examine through a comprehensive qualitative analysis the issue of security from the perspective of the phenomenon of poverty, integrating quality of life as a factor of human security and linking the culture of poverty, the concept of soft security with the impact of globalisation on the current security environment and on the state of human rights. The phenomenon of poverty is multifaceted, continuous and very complex, incorporating vulnerabilities, risks and social inequalities, ranging from lack of income to provide food, adequate housing for individual needs, decent or good living conditions, to limited access to basic services or needs to fulfil potential. Fulfilling one’s full potential is in Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and includes one’s own aspirations, creative actions, focus on the inner self, quality education, expanding possibilities and horizons for action. There is no emphasis on the needs at the bottom of the pyramid, as these are an implicit necessity, and poverty can be defined not only in terms of living on the edge of subsistence, but also in terms of the precariousness of daily life, of a limited, inadequate life, at odds with universal principles, values and ideals.
Effects of Pre-Pregnancy Exercise on Anxiety Behaviors and Oxidative Stress Factors in Pregnant Mice
Authors: Torabi Farnaz , Eslami Zohreh , Mohammadi Mohammad
Published: January 2025

The physical and psychological status of the mother and the environment she provides during pregnancy significantly influence fetal development and, subsequently, the health and adaptability of the child in the future. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the effect of pre-pregnancy swimming exercise on anxiety behaviors and oxidative stress factors in female mice during pregnancy. In this study, 26 NMRI mice, approximately 80-90 days old and weighing 25-35 grams, were selected. The female mice were randomly divided into two groups: 10 in the control group and 10 in the experimental group. The female mice in the experimental group underwent swimming exercise for 8 weeks before mating. The exercise method included two stages: an adaptation stage and a swimming exercise stage. During the adaptation period, to reduce stress caused by water, the animals were placed in shallow water (5 cm depth) for 10 minutes during the first week to adapt to the procedure. The swimming exercise consisted of three 10-minute swimming sessions with a 10-minute rest interval between each session per day. To evaluate anxiety behaviors, the open field test, dark/light box test, and elevated plus maze test were utilized. For assessing oxidative stress factors, the mice were anesthetized, and blood was collected from their hearts. The obtained data were analyzed using SPSS version 26 and one-way ANOVA. The results indicated that in the experimental group (swimming exercise), compared to the control group (no exercise), there was a significant reduction in anxiety behaviors, a significant increase in glutathione, and a significant decrease in malondialdehyde levels (p≤0.05). It appears that pre-pregnancy swimming exercise reduces anxiety behaviors, increases glutathione, and decreases malondialdehyde in pregnant female mice. Therefore, it is recommended that swimming exercise be performed before pregnancy to control pregnancy-related anxiety in female mice.

Published: January 2025

Negative symptoms result in a significant burden of illness and reduced quality of life in individuals with schizophrenia; therefore, the main aim of the present study was to investigate the mediating role of cognitive biases and difficulty in emotion regulation in the relationship between personality and character with negative symptoms of schizophrenia. This study was descriptive and correlational. The statistical population included all people with schizophrenia hospitalized in Razi Psychiatric Hospital in 2023-2024, of which 200 people were selected as the research sample using a convenience method. The data collection tools included the Positive and Negative Symptom Scale, Short Form of the Big Five Personality Factors Questionnaire, Short Version of the Temperament and Character Questionnaire, Cognitive Bias Assessment Scale and Short Form of Difficulties in Emotion Regulation. SPSS, and LISREL software were used for data analysis, as well as Pearson correlation method and structural equation modeling. The results showed that cognitive biases and difficulty in emotion regulation have a mediating role in the relationship between personality (neuroticism, extraversion and agreeableness) and character (self-direction, cooperation and self-transcendence) with negative symptoms of schizophrenia (CFI=1, NNFI=0.99, IFI=1, GFI=0.99, RMSEA=0.049). Individuals with schizophrenia with personality traits of neuroticism, extraversion, and character (self-direction and cooperation) experience negative symptoms due to cognitive biases and difficulty in emotion regulation. Therefore, training in emotion regulation skills and reducing cognitive biases may be an important initial component of the challenging task of treating negative symptoms of schizophrenia.

Published: January 2025

Obesity in older adults can lead to numerous health problems, including cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, hypertension, and a reduced quality of life. These issues are exacerbated by decreased physical activity and metabolic changes associated with aging. Weight management in older adults is of great importance, as it can help prevent these health issues. Additionally, weight control can contribute to maintaining independence and improving the quality of life in older adults. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of a combined training program with fenugreek and green cumin supplementation on the levels of certain inflammatory and anti-inflammatory adipokines in overweight women. In a quasi-experimental study, 60 overweight older women were randomly assigned to six groups: combined training/placebo (n=16), fenugreek supplement (n=16), green cumin supplement (n=16), combined training/fenugreek supplement (n=16), combined training/green cumin supplement (n=16), and control (n=16). Participants performed the combined training protocol for 8 weeks, with three sessions per week. The fenugreek supplement group consumed two capsules of 335 mg daily, while the green cumin supplement group consumed two capsules of 25 mg daily. The results indicated that in the combined training/placebo (P<0.001), green cumin supplement (P<0.001), combined training/fenugreek supplement (P<0.001), and combined training/green cumin supplement (P<0.001) groups, the mean differences in resistin and visfatin levels between pre-test and post-test were significant (P<0.05). All four groups resulted in a reduction in inflammatory and anti-inflammatory adipokine levels. In the fenugreek supplement and control groups, no significant differences were found between pre-test and post-test mean values (P>0.05). Furthermore, post-hoc test results showed a significant difference in the combined training/green cumin supplement group compared to the other four experimental groups, with a significantly greater reduction observed (P<0.001).

Published: January 2025

This study aimed to compare the effects of the traditional educational model and the Game-Based Learning (GBL) approach on self-efficacy in adolescent boys. A quasi-experimental design was used with a pre-test and post-test model. Thirty male students aged 10 to 13 years from Mashhad were selected using convenience sampling and randomly assigned to two groups: one receiving traditional instruction and the other exposed to GBL. Self-efficacy was measured using the Self-Efficacy Questionnaire for Children and Adolescents (SEQ-C). The intervention spanned eight weeks, with the traditional group focusing on teacher-led, structured activities, while the GBL group engaged in interactive, game-based tasks designed to enhance cognitive and emotional skills. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and ANCOVA to evaluate differences between groups. The results revealed that the GBL approach significantly improved self-efficacy compared to the traditional educational model. Participants in the GBL group exhibited a larger mean increase in self-efficacy scores (M = 19.52) compared to the traditional group (M = 6.86). ANCOVA confirmed the effectiveness of GBL, with a large effect size (\u03b72 = 0.80). These findings align with previous studies emphasizing the role of interactive and engaging learning environments in fostering self-efficacy. Game-Based Learning proved to be a more effective approach than traditional instruction in enhancing self-efficacy among adolescent boys. These findings highlight the potential of GBL as a transformative educational strategy, particularly for fostering confidence, motivation, and autonomy in students. Future research should explore long-term effects and applicability across diverse populations.

Published: January 2025

Tests and regular monitoring of the athlete’s’ performance is an important aspect of a successful training program. However, the methods of conducting tests are challenging, particularly in team sports. The present study is an attempt to predict endurance performance and repeated sprint ability based on critical velocity (CV) and anaerobic distance capacity (ADC) in soccer players according to their playing position. The current research used a causal ex post facto design. 60 players from the same team (Ilam, Iran) participating in 3-5 regular practice sessions a week, with an age range of 16-20 years participated in this study as volunteers. They are divided in 6 playing positions (Fullback, Center Back, Defending/Holding Midfielder (CDM), Midfielder Offensive, Winger and Striker) presenting homogeneous level, experience, volume and intensity of training. Body composition, 400m and 1600m running tests and Running-Based Anaerobic Sprint Test (RAST) were measured. CV and ADC were measured using 400m and 1600m running time data. Linear regression test was used to predict the relationship between the variables and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to determine the differences between the players in different positions. Results of the linear regression model showed that CV and ADC ha significantly impact maximum, minimum, average power, aerobic and anaerobic performance in irrespective of the playing position. Regardless of the game positional role. CV of Fullback had an effect on the minimum, average power and decremental index, and the ADC variable in the Center Back position had an effect on the minimum power. However, CV and ADC variables had a significant effect on the prediction of aerobic and anaerobic performance in all six game positions. The results of the one-way ANOVA statistical test showed that there was a significant difference between the different positions only in the deceleration index factor (p=0.015), and the results of the Bonferroni test showed that this difference was between the Midfielder Offensive and winger groups (p=0.012). This study has shown relevant information for coaching about the use of C.V and ADC in order to propose new keys and ways of planning training sessions.

Published: January 2025

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of schema therapy on coping styles and quality of life in overweight individuals with binge eating disorder. The research method was a semi-experimental design, with a pre-test-post-test structure and a control group. The statistical population consisted of all women with binge eating disorder who visited nutrition and weight control clinics in District 1 of Tehran. The sampling method was cluster sampling, where two clinics were selected from the nutrition and weight control clinics in District 1, and 50 individuals were chosen from each clinic. A binge eating questionnaire was distributed among 100 individuals. Based on the results of the test, 15 individuals with the highest binge eating scores were randomly assigned to the experimental group, and 15 individuals to the control group. The data collection tools in this study were the Binge Eating Questionnaire by Gormally, Black, Daston, and Rardin (1982), the Coping Styles Questionnaire by Endler and Parker (1990), and the Quality of Life Questionnaire by the World Health Organization (1993). Schema therapy was conducted in 20 sessions, each lasting 45 minutes. The data were analyzed using covariance analysis. The results showed that schema therapy had an impact on coping styles and quality of life in overweight individuals with binge eating disorder. These findings suggest that by changing and correcting maladaptive early schemas, individuals can adopt healthier and more effective coping styles instead of using ineffective ones, resulting in an improvement in their quality of life.

Rosemary is a unique herb that is commercially available for use as an antioxidant. On the other hand, it can also be used as a food preservative, as it prevents oxidation and microbial contamination. Therefore, rosemary can be useful for replacing or even reducing synthetic antioxidants in food. Antioxidants are compounds that can inhibit oxidation reactions, by binding free radicals and molecules very effectively. As a result, cell damage will be inhibited. Known sources of antioxidants can be synthetic antioxidants and natural antioxidants originating from compounds contained in plants, one of which is phenolic compounds. To obtain phenolic compounds, extraction is carried out using maceration and digestion methods. The solvent choice here uses 80% ethanol solvent. The results obtained in this study were that 80% ethanol extract of rosemary was extracted using the maceration method, with a total phenol content of 11.84 mg GAE/g extract, while using digestion the total phenol content was 9.61 mg GAE/g extract. It can be concluded that the extraction method can influence the results of total phenol content with a significant difference with a p value <0.05

Each community has its own pattern of communication. These patterns can eventually form a variety of languages. Handayani (2019: 5) states that various languages are variations of language that can be distinguished according to usage, topics discussed, the relationship between the speaker, the person he is talking to, the person being talked about, and the medium of the speaker. This study aims to find out the portrait of the interaction of various spoken languages in the Citra Niaga Samarinda market area, East Borneo, amidst the strong flow of modernity. This research belongs to the type of field research in which researchers obtain direct data from the Citra Niaga Samarinda market area for further review.

Penelitian ini berjudul “Evolusi Manusia Menurut Tafsir Non-Akademik”, dalam menafsirkan tentang penciptaan manusia selalu merujuk penjelasan para ulama tafsir, khususnya yang menggunakan corak tafsir ilmiah (tafsir al-‘ilm), sejauh pengalaman mungkin selain tafsir yang akan dikemukakan, sedikit sekali yang memiliki perhatian terhadap tafsir non-akademik, walaupun kelompok tafsir non-akademik dianggap berasal dari kalangan yang tidak memiliki latar belakang ilmu Alquran, tetapi di sisi lain perlu untuk mempertimbangkan penafsirannya.
Para pengkaji umumnya lebih memiliki ketertarikan kepada tafsir yang berbahasa Arab. Mungkin karena pemahaman dalam menafsirkan itu cukup ilmu dan tidak dipungkiri keraguan di dalamnya. Namun di sini penelitian, bagaimana evolusi manusia menurut pandangan orang yang berlatarbelakang umum yang mencoba menafsirkan. Mengingat teori evolusi menjadi pengkajian yang masih teratas dalam dunia ilmu pengetahuan. Untuk menggunggah keimanan para pembaca, dari yang biasa jadi luar biasa. Khusus disuguhkan kepada khayalak umum. Diterapkan teori dan praktik keilmuan sains pada penelitian ini, ditarik kepada penafsiran pada kitab dan juga sains. Maka penulis merumuskan masalah pada penelitian ini, apa identitas tafsir non-akademik? bagaimana penafsiran tentang evolusi manusia dalam tafsir non-akademik? bagaimana penafsiran tentang evolusi manusia menurut sains? Dan  Metode penelitian yang digunakan yakni kualitatif yang bersifat kepustakaan (library research), dengan mengkaji utama buku Alquran Ilmu Pengetahuan dan Teknologi. Dengan ini menghasilkan bahwa evolusi bukan hanya berlaku kepada manusia, hewan dan tumbuhan melainkan juga kepada bahasa, dalam bukunya evolusi dimaknakan perubahan terhadap sesuatu yang tiada menjadi ada. Misalnya mobil, adanya kata mobil di sini karena bendanya ada maka ada juga penamaan terhadap benda ini. Sebab perubahan atau berevolusi maka bisa dikatakan  juga majunya sebuah masyarakat dan peradaban itu.  Ini hanya jalan untuk sedikit memasuk akalkan tentang makna evolusi. Selanjutnya evolusi penciptaan manusia, mengungkapkan beberapa ayat yang terkait dengan penciptaan. Teori evolusi ia sebut teori ilahiyah karena Tuhanlah yang mengadakan keberadaan manusia di dunia, dengan proses yang dilalui terlebih dahulu hingga menjadi manusia sempurna, seperti dijelaskan dalam QS. Al-Hajj:5.
