Darwin's basic conception of evolution through natural selection was well-accepted within the mainstream scientific community almost immediately. However, the details of his explanations were frequently incorrect, and a great deal of his theory, notably the entire mechanism of variation (genetics, as we now know) has been replaced by newer, better theories.
How's that dialectical materialism doing these days? Just peachy? Still looks the same as it did in the 1840s?
