George Louis Leclerc de Buffon

Earth was NOT only 6,000 years old
Earth was much older that this
Erasmus Darwin
all living things were descended from a common ancestor
more complex forms of life arose from less-complex organisms

Jean Baptiste Lamarck
all organisms evolved toward perfection and complxity
didn't think that species did not become extinct
reasoned they must have evolved into different forms
Catastrophism
natural disasters have happened often during Earth's long history
shaped land forms and caused species to become extinct in the process
floods, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, etc....
Gradualism
proposed by James Hutton in the late 1700s
changes observed in land forms result from slow changes over a long period of time
canyons carved away by rivers
Uniformitarianism
proposed by Charles Lyell
