Ferdinand von Mueller's Interactions with Charles Darwin and His Response to Darwinism (2010)
Although Ferdinand Mueller (later von Mueller), Government Botanist of Victoria, opposed Darwin's theories when On the origin of species was published, there has been little detailed study of the nature of Mueller's opposition from 1860, when he received a presentation copy of Origin, to his death in 1896. Analysis of Mueller's correspondence and publications shows that he remained a theist and misunderstood key aspects of Darwin's theory. However, Mueller did come to accept that natural selection could operate within a species, although never accepting it could produce speciation. Despite these differences he retained a cordial relationship with Darwin.
