You'd be surprised how many people with supposedly elite educations don't believe in evolution.
For me the most shocking example (or maybe not that shocking) is how it's de rigour in sociology to deny evolution. Yes, they will superficially claim they believe in it, but that belief collapses when placed under the slightest pressure. For example if you ask them for examples of male/female differences that originate in evolutionary selection pressure, you'll discover there are none. Not even men being physically stronger than women has an evolutionary explanation, according to this field.
The rejection of evolution by sociologists is a long standing problem. There's an essay about the problem from 1990:

and in 2018 people were still writing about the very same thing:

The field systematically rejects Darwinism for ideological reasons.
