What first led James Hutton to propose the key geological doctrine of uniformitarianism, which holds that great changes occur incrementally over eons? The Course: Get a clear and bracing overview of the entire scientific world from the laws of motion first formulated 300 years ago by Sir Isaac Newton to the latest marvels of contemporary genetic research.
