Punctuated Equilibrium's History
Punctuated equilibrium originated as an extension of Ernst Mayr's concept of genetic revolutions by peripatric and allopatric speciation.

Punctuated equilibrium, or punctuated equilibria, is a theory of evolution which states that changes such as speciation can occur relatively quickly, with long periods of little change—equilibria—in between.

Punctuated Equilibrium
According to another model based on the fossil record, speciation occurs rapidly over a short time, followed by a long period of little or no change. "Short" means thousands or hundreds of thousands of years.

Punctuated Equilibrium
The theory of punctuated equilibrium is an inference about the process of macroevolution from the pattern of species documented in the fossil record.

Debates have continued within the field. One of the most prominent outstanding debates is over the theory of punctuated equilibrium, a theory propounded by Stephen Jay Gould to explain the paucity of transitional forms between phyla.

Punctuated equilibrium: the belief that evolution proceeds by spurts of change interspersed with long periods of stasis (genetic stability) where selection favors no change.
