jan 1, 1830 - Charles Lyell
Description:
Well known for his book- "Principles of Geology". The illustration on the front shows the main idea: that evidence of the forces of geological change that have been changing the Earth for millennia is observable today.
He was the most famous lawyer and geologist during his time.
His work heavily influenced Charles Darwin- Darwin's concept of gradual evolution lacked an acceptable time frame till he embraced Lyell's old-earth theories.
