More about the book
Challenging the traditional view of evolution, Niles Eldredge presents the theory of punctuated equilibria, which suggests that species experience long periods of stability interrupted by brief, rapid changes. Drawing from his research on trilobite fossils, Eldredge explores the implications of this theory, questioning the gradualist model proposed by Darwin. The book delves into the historical context of evolutionary thought and the significance of fossil records, offering a fresh perspective on how new species emerge and evolve over time.
