Max Müller, the well-known linguist, however, rejected this view asserting that “The one great barrier between man and brute is Language. Some of these variations make individuals more likely to survive and have children than other members of the same species. Instead, the naturalist analysed this evolutionary kinship through the prism of sexual selection, a hypothesis that he had not been able to fully develop in On The Origin of Species , and according to which certain variations were not transmitted to offspring because they offered an advantage for survival, but rather for reproduction.

However, whilst the idea is widely accepted now, at the time, his work was rejected as being un-Christian and many people objected to his idea that we came from an ape like ancestor, ridiculing Darwin by depicting him as a monkey and criticising his work.
