Evolution's Erratic Pace
Gould, Stephen Jay
Natural History, 86, 5, 12-16, May 77
Offers an opposing view to Darwin's statement that evolution occurs through gradual change, using fossil species and modes of evolution to lend support to the author's model of "punctuated equilibria," in which... "Lineages change little during most of their history, but events of rapid speciation occasionally punctuate this tranquillity." (Author/CS)
