[PAR] [TLE] Charles Lyell [SEP] Sir Charles Lyell, 1st Baronet, {'1': ", '2': ", '3': ", '4': "} (14 November 1797 – 22 February 1875) was a Scottish geologist who popularised the revolutionary work of James Hutton.  He is best known as the author of "Principles of Geology", which presented uniformitarianism–the idea that the Earth was shaped by the same scientific processes still in operation today–to the broad general public.  "Principles of Geology" also challenged theories popularised by Georges Cuvier, which were the most accepted and circulated ideas about geology in Europe at the time. [PAR] [TLE] Transmutation of species [SEP] Transmutation of species and transformism are terms often used to describe 19th-century evolutionary ideas for the altering of one species into another that preceded Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection.  The French "Transformisme" was a term used by Jean Baptiste Lamarck in 1809 for his theory, and other 19th century proponents of pre-Darwinian evolutionary ideas included Étienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, Robert Grant, and Robert Chambers who anonymously published the book "Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation".  Opposition in the scientific community to these early theories of evolution, led by influential scientists like the anatomists Georges Cuvier and Richard Owen and the geologist Charles Lyell, was intense.  The debate over them was an important stage in the history of evolutionary thought and would influence the subsequent reaction to Darwin's theory.
