An evolutionist.

Answer

It is NOT an evolutionist. An evolutionist is merely anyone who believes in evolution. The name for a scientist who studies evolution as it relates to human beings is an anthropologist and a scientist who studies the fossil record is a palaeontologist.

ANSWER

They are known as evolutionary biologists.

Strictly speaking, anthropology is split up into a number of disciplines - physical (sometimes known as biological) anthropology is the study of evolution as it relates to human beings. Further to this, scientists who study evolution in the fossil record are known as evolutionary palaeobiologists or simply palaeobiologists.
