The Theory of Actualism, which was put forward by Hutton, helped Charles Darwin in his research as he studied evolution of fossils. Darwin's work was also influenced by many other geologists apart from Hutton.
By showing Darwin that the earth was very old and enough time could have passed for natural selection to have shaped all the species of the earth. Also the process they espoused was based on gradual change and this is what Darwin proposed for the adaptive process of organisms; a gradual change over time in populations.
James Hutton and Charles Lyell theorized that the geological processes that shaped the Earth during the past are also the same processes that are shaping the present day. This has influenced Charles Darwin's Theory of Evolution claiming that not only changes in geology happen but in organisms as well.
because it was the first attempt to explain catastrophic events such as earthquakes
James found out that the earth is older than the bible said so and Charles also didn't believe that the bible was entirely correct so he decided he was going to work off what James did and contribute to proving the bible is completely incorrect
Ironically, my name is James Hutton and my big sister is called Lauren Hutton. So my is answer is yes they're related, and my question is how do you know about my family!!?!
James Hutton 1 Jan 1785 Used Steno's Law of Superposition. It compares rock layers to rocks above and below the rock. Evidence: Hutton found granite penetrating metaphoric schists, in a way which indicated that the granite had been molten at the time. This showed to him that granite formed from cooling of molten rock, not precipitation out of water as others at the time believed, and that the granite must be younger than the schists.
The age of the Earth was the idea changed by the work of James Hutton and Charles Lyell. Charles Lyell incorporated Hutton's thinking into his principle uniformitarianism, which stated that mechanisms of change are constant over time.
no i don't think so. he was inspirid by him
he rocked za snapbacks ....(swaggy)

FINCHES
The author of 'theory of the earth' is James Hutton.

It is not known who originally invented gradualism. One of the earliest proposals of this theory was by Scottish physicist and farmer James Hutton.
men because he wanted to that's why
James Hutton's theory of rock formation is supported by several vertical rock formations around the world.
men because he wanted to that's why
Charles Lyell explained this process with his theory of uniformitarianism.
James Hutton, a Scottish geologist, is credited with developing the theory of gradualism in the late 18th century. He proposed that the Earth's geological processes operate slowly over long periods of time to shape the planet's surface.
I thin James Hutton did lots of inventions
