'''Leucippus''' (lew sip' us)(5th century B.C.) was a [[Greece|Greek]] [[philosopher]] and [[scientist]].
Although next to nothing is known about Leucippus, historians believe that by building off the concept of [[Anaximenes]], he came up with the idea that all things are made up of teeny units called [[atom]]s. Therefore, Leucippus is known as the father of [[atomic theory]].
Much more is known about his student and his student's ideas about atoms, [[Democritus]].
