Show notes

Let's continue our relaxing month in The Wayback Machine with one of the waybackiest of sciences, geology! This time, the commitment to data in the early 1800s, the perils of fitting new evidence to old stories, and the importance of point of view in observational limitations. Facts, indeed, Sir Charles.
