At this early period in the study of philosophy however it was a common belief that animals could originate from the mud or slime of lakes and rivers the true nature of fossil was settled by the beginning of the eighteenth century and the next problem was to explain how the remains of sea animals had been buried in the rocks for inland and at great heights among hills and mountains. It was demonstrated that during past ages the distribution of land and sea mountains and blains had frequently changed that in fact rain rivers waves currents volcanoes and phenomena like earthquakes were continually altering the earth's surfaces even under the eyes of man himself.
