Some objections raised against Darwinism were Darwin failed to explain the mechanism of variation.

1. Darwinism explains the survival of the fittest but not the arrival of the fittest. 

2. He focused on small fluctuating variations that are mostly non-heritable. 

3. He did not distinguish between somatic and germinal variations.

4. He could not explain the occurrence of vestigial organs, over specialization of some organs like large tusks in extinct mammoths and over sized antlers in the extinct Irish deer, etc.
