Answer:

Charles Lyell

Explanation:

Charles Lyell was a Scottish geologist who explained the former transformations in the Earth’s surface in his geology masterpiece. This book is considered as the most significant scientific book ever and has 3 volumes. Lyell expressed how the surface of the Earth was changing by the time and reinforced his argument for <em>uniformitarianism</em><em> </em>through geology.

<em>Uniformitarianism:</em><em> It is the idea that the Earth’s natural processes behave the same way today as they were in the past and will keep on doing in the future as well.       </em>

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

The species that will be most similar to humans will be

1. rhesus

2. pigeon

3. fruit fly

Explanation:

Evolution can be described as the process in which different organism evolve from common ancestors over a long period of time. Evolutionary studies show that some organisms have more shared characteristics as compared with other organisms. These organisms with common characteristics are believed to be closer to one another and evolved from the same ancestors.

In the above question, as there is only one difference between the cytochrome c of humans and rhesus, hence rhesus is the closest to humans. Pigeons has lesser number of differences than fruit fly, hence it is second on the list. Fruit fly has the maximum differences hence it is placed last.
