单词	polygeny
释义	polygeny /pəˈlɪdʒ(ə)ni / noun [mass noun] The theory (not now generally held) that humans evolved from several independent pairs of ancestors: the theory of polygeny is now in disrepute... Presentations such as those in the Natural History of the Mammals provided fuel for the fire of polygeny. Although both monogeny and polygeny started out with an appeal to religious doctrine, polygeny was the far weaker of the two, because the idea of separate origins went against scripture. Compare with polygenesis. Rhymes aborigine, polygyny
