According to the May 17 New York Times, Tom DeLay said the Columbine
shootings some years ago happened "because our school systems teach our
children that they are nothing but glorified apes who have evolutionized
out of some primordial mud."

I think we're going to see an interesting split develop, with "evolve"
being the neutral verb and "evolutionize" being the denigratingverb for
the same process.
