'''Evolution [[Syndrome]]''' is the tendency of some people to insist compulsively that human [[evolution]] from animals ''must'' somehow be true, and to spend nearly all of their time pushing that belief on others<ref>[http://evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/article/evo_01]</ref> and the phenomenon that liberals are more evolved than conservatives.<ref>Citation:You, a Conservative</ref> It is reflected on the [[internet]] by people who devote a significant amount of their postings to pushing their belief in evolution and insisting on [[censoring]] or demonizing alternative views of the issue. They are particularly against teaching any alternative theories to children in school. A childish insistence on [[last wordism]] is a common characteristic of evolution syndrome.

Sufferers of evolution syndrome tend to be college students or graduates who wanted to excel in math or physics, but lacked the ability or work ethic to do so.  They are frustrated "wannabes" with respect to academic recognition.  But they find that [[liberals]] will praise their intelligence if they promote evolution.  This is analogous to a struggling ball player deceitfully turning to steroids to enhance his performance, and thereby make it to the "Big Leagues."
