Robert Jameson

    Robert Jameson was a Scottish naturalist and mineralogist, notable for his long tenure as Regius Professor of Natural History at the University of Edinburgh. His advanced scholarship and significant museum collection made a lasting impact, particularly on his student Charles Darwin. While he initially contended with prevailing geological theories, Jameson's tutelage provided Darwin with foundational knowledge in stratigraphic geology and hands-on experience with museum collections. The young Darwin also witnessed ornithologist John James Audubon's demonstration of his drawing techniques at Jameson's Wernerian Natural History Association.
