Catholicism uses the phrase "special creation" in two different senses:
- in the context of theistic evolution to refer to the "special creation of humans", a point of hominization where evolved near-human animals were given souls by God, and became fully human; this belief is also called special transformism by some scholars.
- to refer to the doctrine of immediate or special creation of each human soul
