The concept of punctuated equilibrium was, to some, a radical new idea when it was first proposed by Stephen Jay Gould and Niles Eldredge in 1972. Now it is widely recognized as a useful model for ...

History is often shaped by moments of profound change—inflection points that redefine what’s possible, much like cosmic asteroids that strike the planet and alter the course of evolution.

This can be explained by an idea called punctuated equilibrium, a hypothesis developed in the 1970s by paleontologists ...

By analysing vast amounts of data, AI can identify patterns and trends that signal emerging challenges, such as declining ...

In the context of evolutionary biology — where it is known that mass extinctions follow a power law, with many small events and a handful of massive cataclysms — this vision of what is normal has been ...

We are in the throes of an evolutionary shift, a period of “punctuated equilibrium,” a faster pace of change after a time of relatively slow, meandering developments in our 200,000-year history.

while Old World monkeys show evidence of ‘faunal turnover' that closely matches the patterns predicted under the punctuated equilibrium model (Delson& Rosenberger 1984, Rosenberger 2002).

This pattern of low evolutionary rates interrupted by occasional bursts of activity is known as “punctuated equilibrium”. This is what we would expect to see in cases where evolution is being ...

The main thrust of this research aims to build a bridge between two core theories of the policy process, the Narrative Policy Framework (NPF) and Punctuated Equilibrium Theory (PET). As Peterson (2021 ...

I believe the atypically high price realizations are the result of a broken market equilibrium, so let us begin by examining how it would work as a well-oiled machine and then discuss some of the ...
