Explore the concept of punctuated equilibrium, where evolution happens in rapid spurts between long periods of stability.
The fossil record shows that species often exist for millions of years without changing much and then, suddenly, new species appear. This pattern impacts how we understand change, continuity, randomness, and periods of rapid development. This exercise allows you to delve into the concept of time, the natural selection mechanism, and the influence of external forces on evolution.
