To some, jungle is an earlier form of drum-'n'-bass that evolved gradually out of hardcore upping the BPMs and breakbeats in the early-mid 90s. To others, jungle is a "rougher, raw" type of drum-'n'-bass, hence the name "jungle" which could be part of "urban jungle", or rough life in the city (as featured in Goldie's "Inner City Life"). Some avoid the term as they believe it is racist, i.e. as in "jungle bunny" referring to Euro black people making their urban music like how it is paralleled in the States as hip-hop/rap culture.
For what it's worth, the allmusic.com definition (worth checking out but can't be linked to) combines both of them under the same heading. I believe the overlap is pretty big anyway and not worth quibbling about.

Yes, there are certainly a combination of roots, Reggae being prominent in such things as "Ragga Jungle" and the like. Strains like techstep obviously owe more to techno and industrial, and the amazing thing is you can throw so many things in the stew and it will taste yummy.

Hope this helps
It got it's name by a club called JUNGLE in UK I believe
or maybe not...don't remeber 100%
And it rather evloved out of breakbeats or something...reagge samples and vocals were added later...
The easiest way to make a difference btw Jungle and Drum & Bass is that Jungle doesn't have these long and hard bass's...it's more about rythms...I believe...not an expert on Jungle though
