Vestiges had significant influence on public opinion, and the intense debate helped to pave the way for the acceptance of the more scientifically sophisticated Origin by moving evolutionary speculation into the mainstream.

Both in Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation and On the Origin of Species, the ancestor remained largely a hypothetical species, and Darwin was primarily occupied with showing the principle, and very carefully refrained from speculating on relationship between living or fossil organisms, using theoretical examples only.

Vestiges of their worship persisted long after Christianity and other major religions extirpated nearly every trace of the major pagan pantheons, and indeed, they continue even today, in one form or another ( and in fact may have taken on some of their own, including statues to various saints, such as St. Francis to protect a garden, or gargoyles in older churches ).

They only agreed on the point that Vestiges was unscientific, and the publication of their letters was considered bad manners as well as tactically unwise.

Anglican clergymen were usually quick to publish pamphlets on any theological controversy, but tended to excuse themselves from responding to Vestiges as they lacked expertise: men of science were expected to lead the counterattack.

Vestiges was published in New York, and in response the April 1845 issue of the North American Review published a long review, the start of which was scathing about its reliance on speculative scientific theories: " The writer has taken up almost every questionable fact and startling hypothesis, that have been promulgated by proficients and pretenders in science during the present century ... The nebular hypothesis ... spontaneous generation ... the Macleay system, dogs playing dominoes, negroes born of white parents, materialism, phrenology ,-he adopts them all, and makes them play an important part in his own magnificent theory, to the exclusion, to a great degree, of the well-accredited facts and established doctrines of science.

He turned down several invitations to review Vestiges, pleading lack of time, but in March read it closely and on 6 April discussed with other leading clergymen the " rank materialism " of the book " against which work he & all other scientific men are indignant ".

Sedgwick added a 400 + page preface to the 5th edition of his Discourse on the Studies of the University of Cambridge ( 1850 ), including a lengthy attack on Vestiges and theories of development in general.

For a year he had been tentatively discussing his evolutionary ideas in correspondence with Joseph Dalton Hooker, who wrote to Darwin on 30 December 1844 that he had " been delighted with Vestiges, from the multiplicity of facts he brings together, though I do agree with his conclusions at all, he must be a funny fellow: somehow the books looks more like a 9 days wonder than a lasting work: it certainly is “ filling at the price ”.— I mean the price its reading costs, for it is dear enough otherwise ; he has lots of errors.

Four days before publication, a review in the authoritative Athenaeum ( by John Leifchild, published anonymously, as was the custom at that time ) was quick to pick out the unstated implications of " men from monkeys " already controversial from Vestiges, saw snubs to theologians, summing up Darwin's " creed " as man " was born yesterday – he will perish tomorrow " and concluded that though " The work deserves attention and will, we have no doubt, meet with it ", theologians would say " Why construct another theory to exclude Deity from renewed acts of creation?
