Monogenism
the doctrine in anthropology which asserts that mankind has a single origin and that all the human races are related to one another by blood kinship. According to monogenism, contemporary mankind has one species (Homo sapiens), and the human races are intraspecific subdivisions that formed as a result of modern man’s settling in various areas of the world. Monogenism is confirmed by a multitude of anthropological facts and above all by the fact that all the human races yield fertile offspring when mixed. Want to thank TFD for its existence?

No references found | Hopkins often articulated her monogenism through references to the apostle Paul's "one blood" decree, and she maintained arguments for the decree's scientific implications. Luckily for the Roman Catholic Church, recent research indicates Homo sapiens entered history in Africa, which means monogenism and the doctrine of original sin are safe. If theology were still limited to literal interpretations of Scripture, as was the case in Galileo's day, or to literal interpretations of doctrines such as monogenism (according to which the human race descended from one original couple) or the Fall, as was the case in Teilhard's day, such an endeavor would be crippled from the outset. |
