Anti-Darwinism

Anti-Darwinism (Greek anti-– against; opposite property, action, situation + Darwinism – the theory of evolution) – a frame of reference on development of the organic world which denies the doctrine about natural selection or biological evolution in general. In medicine the anti-Darwinism is shown as denial of evolutionary conditionality of reactions of a human body to external influences.
