This second edition of Lyell's widely-read geological manual already began to argue from some of Darwin's Galapagos evidence, well in advance of Darwin's own long-pondered analysis in the Origin Emma Darwin From the portrait by George Richmond. In January 1839, Darwin married his cousin Emma Wedgwood. At first they had a house in Gower Street, in London, near the scientific societies where Darwin was building his reputation. Darwin at home In 1842, three years after their marriage, the Darwins moved out into the country, purchasing Down House, Downe, a small village seventeen miles from London. It remained their home for the rest of his life. The Darwins had ten children in all.

Home Author Index Shakespeare The Bible ... Chapter 21 The Voyage of the Beagle Search all of The Voyage of the Beagle Charles Darwin's father at first refused to allow his 22-year-old son to go on this voyage around the world in 1831-1836: he felt it was not a wise career choice. Fortunately, his father relented, and we have Darwin's journal, which may be the greatest scientific travel narrative ever written. Revised by the author in 1860, this is an account of his experiences on the Beagle, which led to his formulation of the theory of evolution. He was able to observe coral reefs, fossil-filled rocks, earthquakes, and more, first-hand, and made his own deductions. Original (of course) and entertaining!

Located near the southeast boundary, it is a very popular destination despite its long distance (13.5 mi) from the nearest trailhead. It is easily recognizable from the summit of most peaks in Yosemite, thanks to the prominent Lyell Glacier on its northern flank, the largest in the park. An ancient metamorphosed slate tops the summit, which overlays a younger granite base. Mt Lyell stands at the triple divide between two great Sierra rivers (the Merced and Tuolumne Rivers) and Rush Creek (which feeds Mono Lake).

Murray, 1830-1833. Charles Lyell got his first inkling of the scope of geological time when he visited the Auvergne region of France, motivated by Scrope’s recently-published book ( see exhibit item 63 ). But Lyell had his own epiphany when he visited Etna in 1828. He had learned, while touring France, that the percentage of extinct fossil species in a rock was an indicator of the rock’s age. Thus a rock in which 50% of the fossils represented extinct species was of moderate age. When he saw Etna, he saw a mountain that appeared to be of immense age, sitting on hundreds of feet of lava and basalt. But when he found a limestone layer that ran beneath the mountain, he found that 95% of the fossils represented living species. In geological time, Etna was incredibly young, and yet in human terms, it appeared quite ancient. Lyell had discovered that human time and geological time were not even comparable. The earth was immensely old. Home Contents Credits Printed Catalog ... Index

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.

C. Marsh of type of dinosaur ( Anchisaurus sp.) found on left. I. You find a dinosaur: How do you know how it got there, its age, and relation in time to any thing else? You could make up stories. But how to decide which is right? First, we all agree that we are going to make a scientific study. What does that mean? In Science we make up explanatory stories and try to make generalizations. SCIENCE IS BASICALLY A CONVERSATION WITH NATURE Science differs from all other human activities in that there is an external source of judgment: Correspondence to reality Scientific hypotheses have TESTABILITY. Differs from religion because precepts can be changed and must be at least potentially subject to external judgment. Differs from art because we agree there is only one explanation, one valid interpretation. Consider a painting (in this case by Artemisia Gentileschi) of Judith slaying Holofernes (1597?-after 1651) Many equally valid interpretations are possible of this painting - and you may feel many equally valid emotions.

Emigrants People of Angus Rev. Patrick Bell 1801 - 1869 The work was hard, giving people callouses on their hands and sore muscles from bending and stretching all day. Although the farmer would take on extra labour, the work had to be done quickly so that the harvest would be cut and gathered in before any bad weather at the end of the summer. Reaping machines, to do the cutting of the crops, had been invented since the 1st Century A.D. but it was not until 1827 that the first effective reaping machine made its appearance. His machine consisted of a frame, cutters and a piece of sloping canvas which would make the cut stalks go neatly to the side ready to be bound. By working in secrecy in his workshop and at the local smithy, he had aroused a great deal of local curiosity. He even tested his machine behind closed doors by planting already cut stalks of oats in his workshop floor, making them into man-made harvest. Believing he had perfected his machine in 1828, he wanted to test it on a real crop. He and his brother waited until a harvest night so no one would see them before they pushed his machine out to a ripe crop. When it worked perfectly, it was immediately put to effective use on his father's farm. Soon it was being manufactured locally and exhibited throughout Angus.

Sir Charles Lyell Sir Charles Lyell was born in Scotland on November 14, 1797 and died in London on February 22, 1875. He attended Oxford University at age 19. He was knighted for scientific accomplishment in 1848. He later became a Baron in 1864. He grew up the oldest of 10 children. Lyell's father was an active naturalist. Lyell had access to an elaborate library including subjects such as Geology. When Lyell was at Oxford, his interests were mathematics, classics, the legal system (law) and geology. He attended a lecture by William Buckland that triggered his enthusiasm for geology. Lyell originally started his career as a lawyer, but later turned to geology. His zoological skills aided in his extensive studies and observations throughout the world. He became an author of T he Geological Evidence of the Antiquity of Man in 1863 and Principles of Geology (12 editions). Lyell argued in this book that, at the time, presently observable geological processes were adequate to explain geological history. He thought the action of the rain, sea, volcanoes and earthquakes explained the geological history of more ancient times. Lyell rebelled against the prevailing theories of geology of the time. He thought the theories were biased, based on the interpretation of Genesis. He thought it would be more practical to exclude sudden geological catastrophes to vouch for fossil remains of extinct species and believed it was necessary to create a vast time scale for Earth's history. This concept was called Uniformitarianism. The second edition of
