Question

I am studying for an Animal Biology exam and Evolution is one of the chapters. I was reading questions (posted below) on a study guide and was stuck on the concept. Can someone please clarify or explain clearly? My texbook is wordy and doesnt help much. Thank you.

How do uniformitarianism and gradualism compare to earlier conceptions about how the world worked?

- What support exists for using these more modern ideas?

- How did ideas from geology help shape Darwin/Wallace’s theory?
