Extractions: Sir Charles Lyell (1797-1875) was a British geologist. In his Principles of Geology (3 volumes, 1830-33), Lyell conclusively showed that the earth was very old and had changed its form slowly, mainly from conditions such as erosion. Lyell was able to date the ages of rocks by using fossils embedded in the stone as time indicators. Charles Darwin made use of Lyell's data on fossils for his theory of evolution. Lyell himself had believed that the various species of plants and animals had remained unchanged since they were created. When confronted with Darwin's findings, he admitted "I now realize I have been looking down the wrong road." He became one of Darwin's strongest supporters. Lyell was born in Scotland. He studied geology at Oxford University and traveled on several geological expeditions in Europe and North America. But the first and one of the strongest supporters of Darwin's theory was Thomas Henry Huxley (1825-1895). A British anatomist and physical anthropologist, Huxley became the foremost advocate of the Darwinian theory and he was often called 'Darwin's bulldog'. In his book Evidence as to Man's Place in Nature (1863) offered proof for Darwin's thesis of natural selection. He was Professor of the Royal College of Surgeons and President of the Royal Society.

Extractions: Sir Charles Lyell (November 14, 1797-February 22, 1875), British geologist, and popularizer of uniformitarianism. Charles Lyell was born in Kinnordy, Forfarshire, Scotland, the eldest of ten children. Lyell's father, also named Charles, was a botanist of minor repute and first exposed the younger Charles to the study of nature. Having attended Exeter College of Oxford University beginning in 1816, Lyell encountered geology as a serious profession under the wing of William Buckland. Upon graduation he took a professional detour into the law, but dabbled in geology. His first paper, On a Recent Formation of Freshwater Limestone in Forfarshire , was presented in 1822. By 1827 he had abandoned the law and embarked on a long geological career that would result in the widespread acceptance of the ideas proposed by James Hutton a few decades before. His most important specific work was in the field of stratigraphy. In 1828, he travelled to the south of France and to Italy, where he realized that the recent strata could be categorized according to the number and proportion of marine shells encased within. Based on this he proposed dividing the Tertiary period into three parts, which he named the Pliocene, Miocene, and Eocene. From 1830 to 1833 his multi-volume Principles of Geology was published. The work's subtitle was

Extractions: Lyell, Sir Charles 1797-1875, British geologist. After studying and briefly practicing law, he spent most of his life in travel and in popularizing scientific ideas. He championed and won general acceptance of the theory of uniformity of causes, which was first proposed by James Hutton (as opposed to the theory of catastrophism ) in his Principles of Geology (3 vol., 1830-33), which went into 12 editions in his lifetime. Lyell furthered the idea central to uniformitarianism , that the present processes acted on the earth in the same way all the way through time and at about the same intensity. He also brought up the idea that all processes (i.e., biological and geological) were delicately balanced. In addition to Elements of Geology (1838) and The Geological Evidences of the Antiquity of Man (1863), he wrote two books on his travels in North America. Lyell's work was influential in shaping 19th-century ideas not only in geology specifically, but in scientific fields as a whole; he facilitated later acceptance of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution. Among Lyell's other important contributions was the division of the Tertiary period into the Eocene, Miocene, and Pliocene epochs. See his Life, Letters, and Journals

Lyell wurde in Kinnordy (heute Angus ) geboren und besuchte die Universität Oxford . Er studierte Jura und wurde als Anwalt zugelassen. Kurze Zeit später widmete er sich aber fast ausschließlich der Wissenschaft, besonders der Geologie. Aufbauend auf dem bahnbrechenden Werk des schottischen Geologen James Hutton aus dem 18.

Lyell erhärtete seine Theorie durch geologische Beobachtungen, die er im Laufe ausgedehnter Reisen durch Europa und Nordamerika gesammelt hatte. Der Aktualismus stand im Widerspruch zur Katastrophentheorie , die unter den damals lebenden Wissenschaftlern verbreitet war. Die Anhänger der Katastrophentheorie behaupteten, daß nur große Katastrophen die grundlegende Entwicklung der Erdkruste verändern könnten und daß die Erde nur etwa 6 000 Jahre alt wäre. Die meisten Wissenschaftler glaubten daran, daß die Katastrophentheorie mit der in der Bibel beschriebenen Erschaffung der Welt in Einklang stehe.

Uniformitarianism
Hutton influenced Sir Charles Lyell (17971875), who is acclaimed as thefather of modern geology with his work, Principles of Geology (1830).
http://www.uniformitarianism.net/

Extractions: Uniformitarianism is a geological doctrine. It states that current geologic processes, occurring at the same rates observed today, in the same manner, account for all of Earth's geological features. Thus, it assumes that geological processes are essentially unchanged today from those of the unobservable past, and that there have been no cataclysmic events in earth's history. As present processes are thought to explain all past events, the Uniformitarian slogan is, "the present is the key to the past." Uniformitarianism - Glossary of Geology Uniformitarianism is defined in the authoritative Glossary of Geology as "the fundamental principle or doctrine that geologic processes and natural laws now operating to modify the Earth's crust have acted in the same regular manner and with essentially the same intensity throughout geologic time, and that past geologic events can be explained by phenomena and forces observable today; the classical concept that 'the present is the key to the past'." (Robert Bates and Julia Jackson, Glossary of Geology , 2nd edition, American Geological Institute, 1980, pg. 677).

http://www.geog.ouc.bc.ca/physgeog/contents/10c.html

Extractions: (c) Concept of Uniformitarianism Uniformitarianism is one of the most important unifying concepts in the geosciences. This concept developed in the late 1700s, suggests that catastrophic processes were not responsible for the landforms that existed on the Earth's surface. This idea was diametrically opposed to the ideas of that time period which were based on a biblical interpretation of the history of the Earth. Instead, the theory of uniformitarianism suggested that the landscape developed over long periods of time through a variety of slow geologic and geomorphic processes. The term uniformitarianism was first used in 1832 by William Whewell , a University of Cambridge scholar, to present an alternative explanation for the origin of the Earth. The prevailing view at that time was that the Earth was created through supernatural means and had been affected by a series of catastrophic events such as the biblical Flood. This theory is called catastrophism The ideas behind uniformitarianism originated with the work of Scottish geologist James Hutton . In 1785, Hutton presented at the meetings of the Royal Society of Edinburgh that the Earth had a long history and that this history could be interpreted in terms of processes currently observed. For example, he suggested that deep soil profiles were formed by the weathering of bedrock over thousands of years. He also suggested that supernatural theories were not needed to explain the geologic history of the Earth.
