I want to know the answer to the following question:
Which group of people was excited by the German translation of On the Origin of Species?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Evolutionary ideas, although not natural selection, were accepted by German biologists accustomed to ideas of homology in morphology from Goethe's Metamorphosis of Plants and from their long tradition of comparative anatomy.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
