AI overview
Charles Lyell was a British geologist who lived in the 19th century and fundamentally changed how scientists understand Earth's history by arguing that geological features were shaped gradually over immense periods of time through natural processes still occurring today. His ideas provided crucial support for evolution by showing that Earth was old enough for life to have slowly changed and developed over millions of years.
