<p><b>Adam Sedgwick</b> (* <a href="22._M%C3%A4rz" title="22. März">22.

Er schlug sowohl die <a href="Devon_(Geologie)" title="Devon (Geologie)">Devon</a>- als auch die <a href="Kambrium" title="Kambrium">Kambrium</a>-Periode als Bestandteile für eine <a href="Geologische_Zeitskala" title="Geologische Zeitskala">geologische Zeitskala</a> vor. Der letztere Vorschlag basierte auf den <a href="Stratigraphie_(Geologie)" title="Stratigraphie (Geologie)">stratigraphischen</a> Forschungen, die er in Wales vorgenommen hatte.

<p>Sedgwick war das dritte der sieben Kinder von Richard Sedgwick (1736–1828), dem örtlichen <a href="Vikar" title="Vikar">Vikar</a>, und dessen zweiter Frau Margaret Sturgis (um 1752–1820). Er besuchte zunächst die <a href="Grammar_School" title="Grammar School">Grammar School</a> in seinem Geburtsort Dent. 1801 wurde an die Grammar School in Sedbergh geschickt. Am 18. November 1803 wurde Sedgwick als „Sizar“ für das Studium am <a href="Trinity_College_(Cambridge)" title="Trinity College (Cambridge)">Trinity College</a> in <a href="Cambridge" title="Cambridge">Cambridge</a> zugelassen.<sup id="cite_ref-AC_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-AC-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Bevor er dort zum <a href="Wintersemester" class="mw-redirect" title="Wintersemester">Wintersemester</a> (Michaelmas) sein Studium begann, wurde Sedgwick im Sommer 1804 vom Arzt und Mathematiker John Dawson (1734–1820)<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> unterrichtet.

</p>

<p>1810 wurde er dort Assistent. Ab 1818 war Sedgwick <a href="Woodwardian_Professor_of_Geology" class="mw-redirect" title="Woodwardian Professor of Geology">Woodwardian Professor of Geology</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Im gleichen Jahr wurde er zum Geistlichen der anglikanischen Kirche geweiht. In Cambridge wirkte er mit an Reformen, die die Universität zu einer modernen Bildungs- und Forschungseinrichtung machen sollten. Mit <a href="John_Stevens_Henslow" title="John Stevens Henslow">John Stevens Henslow</a> war er 1819 auf einer geologischen Exkursion. Mit ihm und <a href="Edward_Daniel_Clarke" title="Edward Daniel Clarke">Edward Daniel Clarke</a> gründete Sedgwick im gleichen Jahr die <a href="Cambridge_Philosophical_Society" title="Cambridge Philosophical Society">Cambridge Philosophical Society</a>.

</p><p>1834 wurde er <a href="Domherr" title="Domherr">Domherr</a> <i>(Prebendary)</i> der <a href="Kathedrale_von_Norwich" title="Kathedrale von Norwich">Kathedrale von Norwich</a>; diese Funktion nahm er neben seinen Universitätsämtern bis zu seinem Tod wahr. 1845 wurde er stellvertretender Rektor des Trinity College.

</p><p>Sedgwick fand seine letzte Ruhestätte in der Trinity College Chapel in Cambridge.

<p>An <a href="Charles_Darwin" title="Charles Darwin">Charles Darwin</a>, den Sedgwick im August 1831 vor dessen Reise mit der <i><a href="Beagle_(Schiff%2C_1820)" title="Beagle (Schiff, 1820)">Beagle</a></i> in Geologie unterwiesen hatte, schrieb er 1859 nach dem Erscheinen von <i><a href="%C3%9Cber_die_Entstehung_der_Arten" title="Über die Entstehung der Arten">On the Origin of Species</a></i> (Über die Entstehung der Arten):

</p>

<p>“If I did not think you a good tempered and truth-loving man I should not tell you that … I have read your book with more pain than pleasure. Parts of it I admired greatly; parts I laughed at till my sides were almost sore; other parts I read with absolute sorrow; because I think them utterly false and grievously mischievous. You have deserted – after a start in that tram-road of all solid physical truth – the true method of induction […]<sup id="cite_ref-Letter2548_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Letter2548-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>”

</p>

</blockquote>

<p>„Hielte ich Sie nicht für einen so anständigen und wahrheitsliebenden Mann, würde ich es Ihnen nicht sagen … aber ich habe Ihr Buch mit mehr Unbehagen als Wohlgefallen gelesen. Manche Stellen beeindruckten mich zutiefst; an anderen lachte ich, bis ich fast Seitenstechen bekam; wieder andere Stellen las ich mit großer Sorge, da ich sie für vollkommen falsch und bedenklich irreführend halte. Sie haben – nachdem Sie in diesem Gleis solider naturwissenschaftlicher Wahrheit begonnen hatten – die wahre Methode der Induktion verlassen […]“
