Beschreibung:

He is most acclaimed for his theory of punctuated equilibrium, which was developed with Niles Eldredge in 1972 (PBS). This is a theory in the field of evolutionary biology. It states that once a species appears in the fossil record they will become stable; meaning that they show very little evolutionary change for most of their geological history (PBS). This state is referred to as stasis.
