A person who opposes or rejects the theory of biological evolution.
From anti- (against) + evolutionist (one who believes in evolution). This term identifies people within antievolution movements, emerging prominently after Darwin's publications.
Famous antievolutionists like William Jennings Bryan were actually fighting for rural, religious communities feeling threatened by modernization—so antievolutionism was less about fossils and more about defending a worldview under siege.
