Darwinist

edit

By John Simpson •

A person who accepts or advocates Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection, especially as set out in On the Origin of Species (1859). As an adjective, describing views, theories, or arguments based on or associated with Darwin’s evolutionary ideas. The term became widely used from the later nineteenth century and, like Darwinian, could be applied both to scientific theories and to their wider intellectual or social implications.
