James Hutton first proposed the idea of uniformitarianism in the late 18th century, arguing that geological processes occur gradually over long periods. His work laid the foundation for modern geology and influenced later scientists like Charles Lyell. Lyell popularized Hutton's ideas, making them integral to the understanding of Earth's history.
