WHAT DOES BIOLOGISM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Biological determinism

"Biological determinism" is a term used in some sociological and feminist literature to describe the belief that human behavior is controlled by an individual's genes. They suggest that this view has played a negative role in creating popular notions relating to race, gender, and sexuality. However, scientists do not generally agree that they hold biologically determinist views, and regard a charge of biological determinism as a straw man, as there is currently no support for strict biological determinism in the biological and psychological sciences. The consensus is that all physical traits and behaviors are phenotypes — the result of complex interactions between both biology and the environment.

Definition of biologism in the English dictionary
