A person who studies or specializes in dysteleology; someone interested in purposeless or non-functional aspects of nature.
From 'dysteleology' + '-ist' (one who practices/studies). This creates a rare specialist term for philosophers and biologists interested in evolutionary leftovers.
A dysteleologist is basically a scientist who gets fascinated by life's apparent mistakes and leftovers—the features that don't make sense evolutionarily—which is an oddly specific but genuinely interesting scientific perspective.
