It's a scientific theory that attempts to explain the diversity of biological life we currently see. And it has a gargantuan amount of evidence to back it up. And again billions of theists accept evolution as well, and I doubt you would call the Pope's worldview "evolutionism".
Did you check out the few origin-of-language links given earlier in this thread? Because I can just about guarantee you they don't call "a speaking God" as the origin of language. ...is that what you actually believe the origin of language is?
"Evolutionism" is explained here, it is broad, but in general it is a worldview...

I will say this about "evolutionism," it is what I was trained in in the university for a biology degree!
Yes, I am reading that article on Wiki on "Origin of language" in between posts. I'm familiar with some of this material. All of the explanations come from evolution. In other words, evolution is giving the framework for the attempted answers, which is admitted on all hands, to be a very difficult problem.
