Hutton and Lyell influenced Darwin's thinking about evolution because they proposed a gradual process to understand the real world.
James Hutton’s and Charles Lyell’s ideas were based on the gradual mechanisms that shape geological features in the environment, which is fundamental to understanding the evolution (change) of species.
In the same line, Darwin believed that evolution was a slow mechanism associated with differential survival and reproduction of the fittest (better adapted) organisms that live in a particular environment, a process known as natural selection and proposed by Darwin to explain this thinking.
In conclusion, Hutton's and Lyell's ideas influence Darwin's thinking about evolution because they proposed a gradual process to understand the real world (in the first case in order to understand geological processes).
