Quote:
"At least today we can bring some sophisticated dating techniques to the table. For most of
the nineteenth century geologists could draw on nothing more than the most hopeful
guesswork."
Comment:
The reason I picked this quote is because I feel like it has a point. Although there were many other quotes from this chapter that I enjoyed I think this one was one that was easily worded and had meaning. I think it has a point because now we have so much to look back on and a lot of what we know today is because of people before us who have pretty much done all the hard work and put things to the test and used their knowledge to figure things out, at least the structure of things and people since then have further developed. The resources people had in the nineteenth century were limited compared to the amount that we have today.
Question:
Where did people get their knowledge from before? Now we have the internet and an endless amount of books available to us and i am curious to know where people got their information from before.
