Developed c. 1972 largely by British chemist James E. Lovelock and U. s. biologist Lynn Margulis, the Gaia hypothesis is named for the Greek Earth goddess.

约在1972年由英国化学家洛夫·洛克与美国生物学家马古利斯阐述，盖亚假说以希腊大地女神命名。

Lovelock called this view Gaia. Together with microbiologist Lynn Margulis, the two published the view in 1972 so that it could be critiqued on scientific terms.

洛夫·洛克把这个观点称为盖亚[7]，并于1972年与微生物学家林恩·马基·莉斯[8]一起公布了这个观点，以接受科学评判。
