noun Darwinites

countable, uncountable One who believes in Darwinian evolution. Oh, but, guesses our ingenious Darwinite, in this breed the male birds courted the bright-coloured ones and neglected the others, and thus a bright-coloured race has survived by natural selection.
countable, uncountable Someone from Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia. Our introduction to the amazing wildfowl in the north was at the end of a forty-mile run, due east of Darwin near the Adelaide River, with Jim Ward, a Darwinite, at the wheel of a highpowered car.
