But again, I do not see that species selection follows from either punctuated equilibrium or the individuality of species. |
According to Gould, the theory of punctuated equilibrium implies that species are individuals, not classes. |
His best-known contribution to evolutionary biology was the theory of punctuated equilibrium that he developed with his colleague Niles Eldridge. |
It's phyletic gradualism versus punctuated equilibrium. |
The theory of punctuated equilibrium will come to be seen in proportion, as an interesting but minor wrinkle on the surface of Neo-Darwinian theory. |
This is likely the pattern recognized in Niles Eldredge and Stephen Gould's punctuated equilibrium. |
