The expression “I’ll be a monkey’s uncle” was popularized by skeptics of what scientist’s theories?

• Charles Darwin:I’ll be a monkey’s uncle is an expression used to indicate surprise, disbelief or skepticism. The idiom began as a sarcastic response to Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution. When Darwin published The Descent of Man in 1871, he made the shocking claim that man had descended from apes, and, in fact, was closely related to modern apes. This claim was, of course, considered ridiculous and offensive, since most people believed that man was created by God. Although it is unclear who originally coined the phrase, “well, I’ll be a monkey’s uncle” became a popular response to Darwin’s theory.
