Привет, меня зовут Финн, и я помогу тебе понять эту книгу.

Вот она, объяснённая так, будто тебе 10 лет:

Посмотри на утес или речную долину, и ты увидишь медленную работу, занявшую века. Charles Lyell утверждал, что Землю постепенно сформировали те же дождь, реки, вулканы и моря, которые ты можешь наблюдать сегодня, только им понадобилось огромное время. Это позднее, девятое издание его великой книги, полное примеров со всего мира. Darwin внимательно читал Lyell. Его идеи изменили то, как все думают о возрасте нашей планеты.
