James Hutton (3 June 1726 – 26 March 1797) was a Scottish geologist, physician, chemical manufacturer, naturalist, and experimental agriculturalist[1] who helped to establish geology as a science, and as a result he is often referred to as the "Father of Modern Geology".[2]
The philosophy of James Hutton was expounded and popularized by Charles Lyell in his book Principles of Geology, which greatly influenced Darwin.[3]
