fault with his theory and were open about their opposition.
An example is his former friend George Mivart.
Mivart argued, to give one example, that natural selection could not produce structures as complex as the vertebrate eye because the beginning stages of the structure would serve no purpose until all of its essential components were present (we know this as ‘irreducible complexity’).
Darwin “was horribly discountenanced by Mivart’s objections to his theory”.

As a result of Mivart’s valid criticisms, Darwin ruthlessly attacked
