Charles Lyell, Scottish Geologist

Charles Lyell (November 14, 1797 - February 22, 1875) was a Scottish geologist. In 1830-33 he published his masterpiece, Principles of Geology. In it, he provided proof to support the principle of Uniformitarianism stated by James Hutton, that rocks and geological formations are the result of ordinary slow processes and not a past catastrophe. A friend of Darwin, Lyell wrote The Antiquity of Man (1863), but himself denied that evolution could be applied to humans. He died in 1875, at the age of 77, and was buried in Westminster Abbey.
