Objections to Darwinism

Objections to Darwinism Some objections raised against Darwinism were – • Darwin failed to explain the mechanism of variation. • Darwinism explains the survival of the fittest but not the arrival of the fittest. • He focused on small fluctuating variations that are mostly non-heritable. • He did not distinguish between somatic and germinal variations. • He could not explain the occurrence of vestigial organs, over specialization of some organs like large tusks in extinct mammoths, oversized antlers in the extinct Irish deer, etc.,
