About Charles Lyell
Charles Lyell (1797-1875) was a British geologist known for his significant contributions to the field of earth science. He is best known for his work 'Principles of Geology,' which popularized the concept of uniformitarianism, the idea that the Earth's geological processes are the result of slow, continuous actions over long periods of time. Lyell's work played a crucial role in shaping modern geology and influencing Charles Darwin's theory of evolution.
