In 1832, Scottish geologist Charles Lyell published the second volume of his groundbreaking trilogy, which profoundly influenced Charles Darwin. Lyell examines the connections between the Earth's changing crust and the many species of birds, insects, mammals and fish that live on it, their distribution, migrations and adaptation to changing habitats.
