    Sir, thank you.
    Specifically for:
    1) getting straight to the most relevant points
    2) treating us as intelligent by speaking normally
    Liked, subbed, shared and will continue to share.
    Peace out to you too.

    The two theories aren't in conflict. Both are true. Transitional forms aren't always found because fossilization is a rare occurrence within any particular species at any particular time in their evolution. Fossils aren't even necessary as we can see in living species the slightly transitional forms. GGL ring species.

    Punctuated equilibrium seems to me more correct because according to gradualism a) we shouldn't have "living fossil" organisms today and b) we will have seen far more transitional forms both in the fossil record and in the nature.

      There is no %100 certainty in biology.Both theories are correct in case of their situations.But we can say maybe more than half of creatures evolved with " punctuated equilibra".

      Basically I was joking. I don't believe in evolution. Neither did Gould or Eldredge. I mean come on! They said it "We didn't find proof of evolution so evolution happened.." seriously? That's not science period.

    Just as curiosity. Oswald Spengler, philosopher of history, had stated in his books *[1]* , natural evolution as a sudden process (same as PE thesis), just by observing and interpretating the phaenomena of every event in nature, as fosil or geological records. In that sense, he argue that mankind's history (as specie and Universal History) can be studied as a biological organic process: with phases of birth, growth, aging and death. Also, he says that this fact shorten the length of the ages (dated in million of years) to a lot lesser account.
    This thesis clearly has a teleological component, but we can't achieve the knowledge of what is the _a priori_ "mision" of Life for the living forms. The purpose of Life is in itself?

    Both are true, you know. Sometimes evolution proceeds by gradual steps, and sometimes dramatic ones.

    • @MrJordan179
      @MrJordan179 5 років тому +2

      "Magic?" No, it's mostly an issue of the speed of environmental change (including the appearance or disappearance of other species) coupled with the degree of isolation of sub-populations. The greater the speed of environmental change, the higher the evolutionary pressure; the greater the isolation of sub-populations, the greater the chance that variants will become new sub-species and in the end perhaps fully speciate.

    punctuated equilibrium is right to me. It is like one species just kill off most of the members of another specie, and consume the resources of the extinct specie? That would explain this idea.

    • @MrCattersonScience
      @MrCattersonScience  7 років тому +1

      What you're describing seems to be the biotic interaction competition. Both of these version of evolution are more to do with changes in a population and a new species resulting from those changes. Gradualism the changes accumulate slowly. Where as, in punctuated equilibrium the changes go through cycles of rapid change and relative stasis.
