I did a number of courses in human evolution, problems in human evolution, human osteology, and human races, and spent half of my Ph.D. exams on those subjects, and in six years of graduate school, not once do I recall the term "Darwinist" being used.

If I had to guess the reason, I'd say it's because it wasn't being seriously compared to anything else, such as Lamarckism or Lysenkoism, let alone some form of intelligently guided evolution. In other words, the premise was considered a given, so it wasn't a subject of debate. Here on FR, the premise is a subject of debate.

Lysenkoism? I should hope not!
