All scientific theories must be able to make testable predictions.
Such predictions are based on observations. Experiments can
then be conducted to verify (or falsify) such predictions.
Darwin theorized that evolution occurred through natural
selection; however, this may not have occurred in a smooth
process. Some evolutionary theorists suggest that evolution by
natural selection occurred in step-wise fashion.
Assignment
Write 3–4 pages on the following (not including the title and
reference pages):
Explain the concepts of phyletic gradualism and punctuated
equilibrium.
What predictions about the fossil record does punctuated
equilibrium make?
In this model, what are the processes that produce rapid
evolution? Which evolutionary factors are responsible for the
periods of relative stasis?
Patterns of punctuated equilibrium have been observed in some
cases, but the debate between punctuated equilibrium and
phyletic gradualism continues and provides interesting areas of
research. Based on your research into the scientific process,
what evidence do we see today that supports a long history of
life on the planet?
What evidence do we see that supports evolution by gradual
change?
What evidence do we see that supports the concept of
punctuated equilibrium?
