Sir Charles Lyell (1797 - 1875) Although born to the Laird of Kinnordy in the county of Angus, Lyell was actually raised in Hampshire, England. He was educated at Oxford University, studying Classics, before spending his early career as a lawyer. However, he had always been interested in the natural sciences, and his interest in geology had been triggered at university whilst attending lectures given by William Buckland (1784 - 1856). Although a lawyer until 1827, Lyell had spent the previous few years immersing himself in the world of science (including his election into the Royal Society in 1826) and upon leaving the legal profession he devoted his life to geology. Please click image to see larger version Following a trip to Italy in 1828 where he studied Tertiary rocks at Mount Etna, he used the proportion of recent to extinct species of fossil shells to divide up geological time into groups: Eocene (dawn of recent), Miocene (less of recent) and Pliocene (more of recent) - time zones ('epochs') still used today, though much refined. Lyell agreed with James Hutton's theory that the landscape had evolved over millions of years of (a theory named 'Uniformitarianism' at the time). Lyell's argument was that the processes observed today such as the action of wind, rain, volcanoes and earthquakes, could be used to explain the geological history of our landscapes. In essence, he believed that "the present is the key to the past".

Sir Charles Lyell 1797 - 1875 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

Gazetteer for Scotland Help ... Add Comment 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

Charles Darwin - Origin Theory Charles Darwin - Immediate Family Charles Darwin (1809-1882) was born in Shrewsbury, England. He was the fifth of six children born to Robert Darwin (1766-1848) and Susannah Wedgwood-darwin (1765-1817). Susannah died when Charles was only eight years old. Charles was the grandson of two very prominent men of the time, Erasmus Darwin (1731-1802) and Josiah Wedgwood (1730-1795). Erasmus, who died several years before Charles was even born, was a dedicated evolutionist. Erasmus' pre-charles Darwin evolutionary writings include Zoonomia, or, the Laws of Organic Life (1794-1796, a two volume work). Consider this excerpt from his posthumous poem Temple of Nature (1802), "Organic life beneath the shoreless waves was born and nurs'd in ocean's pearly caves; First forms minute, unseen by spheric glass, move on the mud, or pierce the watery mass; these, as successive generations bloom, new powers acquire and larger limbs assume; whence countless groups of vegetation spring, and breathing realms of fin and feet and wing." Charles Darwin - Education Charles Darwin entered Shrewsbury School as a boarding student in 1822. He left three years later, at the age of 16, called by his father to study medicine with his elder brother, Erasmus, at Edinburgh University. Repelled by the horror of early 19th century surgery, Darwin dropped out of Edinburgh in 1827 and enrolled in Christ College, Cambridge University, studying to be a clergyman in the Church of England. Charles earned his Bachelor's Degree in Theology in 1831. During his tenure as a student at Cambridge, Darwin befriended botanist and mineralogist John Stevens Henslow (1796-1861), one of his professors. It was Henslow who recommended Darwin to Captain Robert FitzRoy (1805-1865) of the HMS Beagle, who was in need of a naturalist. In August of 1831, Darwin received an invitation to serve as naturalist aboard the Beagle. Darwin accepted and set sail on a fateful five year voyage (1831-36).

Charles Lyell (1797-1875), the primary architect of this "uniformitarian" view and the most famous name in the history of anglophone geology, visited Naples on his "grand tour" of European cultural centers, the voyage that nearly every British gentleman undertook as an essential part of his education. He made all the customary stops, from the steaming vents and bubbling pools of the Phlegraean Fields to the excavations of Pompeii and the obligatory ascent of Vesuvius. (Following its more active eruption, the volcano continued to bubble and steam throughout the late eighteenth century, during the long tenure in Naples of British diplomat and aficionado of volcanoes Sir William Hamiltona level of ardent activity matched only by the torrid, and rather public, affair between Hamilton's wife, Emma, and Admiral Horatio Nelson himself.)
