"The Meeting-Place of Geology and History" by Sir John William Dawson is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The volume aims to explore the intersection of geological records with human history, particularly focusing on the origins of humanity in relation to geological evidence. It examines how various scientific findings can substantiate biblical narratives about human beginnings and the earth's history, while clarifying significant misconceptions. The opening of the work presents the author's intention to outline the intricate connections and overlaps between geology and history. Dawson discusses the role of geologists and historians in studying the earth's strata and past cultures, respectively. He outlines how both disciplines have significant yet distinct contributions to understanding human origins, emphasizing that neither discipline can be entirely excluded or dismissed. The introduction sets the groundwork for a deeper examination to come, whereby the author seeks to reveal how geological evidence intersects with historical and biblical accounts, underscoring the complexity of humanity's place within the broader context of earth history.
