Polygenist

/pəˈlɪdʒənɪst/

बहु-उद्गमवाद का समर्थक (पॉलीजेनिस्ट)

Origin & History

From polygeny/polygenism (Greek poly- ‘many’ + -genēs ‘born, produced’ from genos ‘race, kind’) + -ist ‘one who practices or believes’.

यह शब्द polygeny/polygenism से बना है (ग्रीक poly- ‘अनेक’ + -genēs ‘जन्मा/उत्पन्न’ जो genos ‘जाति/प्रकार’ से) और -ist ‘मानने वाला/समर्थक’ प्रत्यय जुड़कर बना।

Definition

A polygenist is someone who supports polygenism—the theory that different human races or groups descended from different ancestral origins rather than from a single common origin.

पॉलीजेनिस्ट वह व्यक्ति होता है जो पॉलीजेनिज़्म (बहु-उद्गमवाद) का समर्थन करता है—यह सिद्धांत कि विभिन्न मानव नस्लें/समूह एक ही साझा उद्गम के बजाय अलग-अलग पूर्वज-उद्गमों से उत्पन्न हुए।
