    Extractions: Founder of modern geology and the great early 19th century exponent of Hutton 's scientific gradualism. Trained as a lawyer, he lived off an inheritance and on profits from his famous Principles of Geology. He defined the epochs of the Cenozoic and made key advances in stratigraphy, sedimentology, and paleontology. His original views on earth history held species to be immutable and specially created at the beginning of each geological era. This non-progressive view of organic succession was opposed to Owen 's theistic views and taken up by Huxley . A close friend and mentor of Darwin , he admitted evolution after the Origin but never fully accepted natural selection despite having been consulted on the theory as early as 1844. With Hooker , he worked out the professional compromise leading to the joint Darwin- Wallace publication that introduced the selection theory in 1858. Career:

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 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.

    Extractions: Naturenotes índice Charles Lyell. LYELL, SIR CHARLES (1797-1875) Durante este tiempo su vida fue lentamente aproximándose hacia la vida de estudiante de ciencia. En 1819 fue elegido miembro de la Linnean Geological Societies, comunicando su primera publicación a dicha sociedad en 1822, "On a Recent Formation of Freshwater Limestone in Forfarshire", y nombrado uno de los secretarios honorarios en 1823. En ese año se marchó a Francia, conociendo a Cuvier, Humboldt Por este tiempo ya había comenzado a planificar su mas importante trabajo, "The Principles of Geology". El título subsidiario "An Attempt to Explain the Former Changes of the Earth's Surface by Reference to Causes now in Operation" es explicativo de la labor a la que Lyell dedicó su vida. Hutton, con anterioridad, había descrito un modelo terrestre en el que "no había muestras de un principio ni indicios de un fin" e imaginaba la Tierra en un ciclo continuo de cambios. Hutton publicó un libro destacando su concepto de Geología pero no fue muy habilidoso con sus explicaciones. Su trabajo sería mas tarde clarificado y reestructurado por Lyell en el clásico "Principles of Geology". El punto de vista de Lyell difería del de Hutton y fue el primero en exponer la idea que tenemos hoy en día como Uniformitarismo, a menudo resumida en la frase "el pasado es la llave del presente". Lyell supuso que los procesos operaban en el pasado en la misma proporción y la misma velocidad en que lo hacen hoy en día. Rechazó la idea de que la historia de la Tierra está dominada por sucesos catastróficos, estaba mas a favor del gradualismo.

    Extractions: Sir Charles Lyell Influential geologist. Born on the family estate at Kinnordy (Angus), the eldest son of a noted botanist. Lyell spent much of his childhood at their other home, Bartley Lodge in the New Forest of England becoming interested in natural history. Lyell studied law at Oxford and practised for two years, but with a growing interest in geology he was asked to contribute to a geological map of Scotland by surveying Angus (then Forfarshire). He read his first paper, " On a recent formation of freshwater limestone in Forfarshire ", to the Geological Society in 1822. An enthusiast of fieldwork, Lyell travelled to Mount Etna in Italy and, with Sir Roderick Murchison, to France (1828). He was impressed by James Hutton's theory of uniformitarianism which suggested that landscapes evolve over millions of years and developed these ideas in his Principles of Geology (1830). Lyell put in place the intellectual framework which encouraged Charles Darwin to propose his theories for the evolution of living things. These ideas were explosively challenging at a time when the literal interpretation of creationism, and of a biblical flood which shaped the landscape, were universally accepted. He became Professor of Geology at King's College (London) in 1831 and married Mary, daughter of social reformer Leonard Horner (1832). Lyell's

Feb. 22, 1875, London Scottish geologist largely responsible for the general acceptance of the view that all features of the Earth's surface are produced by physical, chemical, and biological processes through long periods of geological time. The concept was called uniformitarianism (initially set forth by James Hutton). Lyell 's achievements laid the foundations for evolutionary biology as well as for an understanding of the Earth's development. He was knighted in 1848 and made a baronet in 1864. Life Lyell was born at Kinnordy, the stately family home at the foot of the Grampian Mountains in eastern Scotland. His principal childhood associations, however, were with the New Forest near Southampton, Eng., where his parents moved before he was two years old. His father, a naturalist who later turned to more literary pursuits, kept the study well stocked with books on every subject, including geology. The eldest of 10 children, Charles attended a series of private schools, where he was not a particularly diligent student; he much preferred rambles in the New Forest and his father's instruction at home to those places, with their schoolboy pranks and pecking orders whose spirit he never really shared. His first scientific hobby was collecting butterflies and aquatic insects, an activity pursued intensively for some years, even though labelled unmanly by local residents. His observations went far beyond those of any ordinary boy, and later this instinct for collecting and comparing led to important discoveries.
