No. Many scientist saw immediately that the theory of evolution by natural selection was the best explanation of the species problem(Huxley, Hooker, Wallace, Grey and many others ). Huxley said, " How stupid not to have thought of that! " Though by the turn of the century the theory was being challenged by the new genetic sciences. Not until the 30's did the new synthesis meld genetics and Biology into a seamless evolutionary theory.
