Eldredge and Gould proposed that the degree of gradualism commonly attributed to Charles Darwin is virtually nonexistent in the fossil record, and that stasis dominates the history of most fossil species.

Goodhue was born in Pomfret, Connecticut to Charles Wells Goodhue and his second wife, Helen ( Eldredge ) Grosvenor Goodhue.

His first wife, Sara ( 1811 – 1872 ), sister of Nathaniel Parker Willis, and widow of Charles H. Eldredge ( d. 1846 ), attained considerable popularity as a writer under the pen-name Fanny Fern.

In 1876 Parton married Ellen Willis Eldredge, his first wife's daughter by her first husband, Charles Eldredge.

In his book The Blind Watchmaker, Dawkins argues against the idea that Charles Darwin himself was a constant-rate gradualist, as suggested by Niles Eldredge and Stephen Jay Gould.

This heuristic was also applied to the theory of punctuated equilibrium proposed by Niles Eldredge and Gould.

Apart from the commonly cited example of water turning to steam with increased temperature, Gould and Eldredge noted another analogy in information theory, " with its jargon of equilibrium, steady state, and homeostasis maintained by negative feedback ," and " extremely rapid transitions that occur with positive feedback.

Lewontin, Gould and Eldredge were thus more interested in dialectical materialism as a heuristic, than a dogmatic form of ' truth ' or a statement of their politics.

His theory of peripatric speciation ( a more precise form of allopatric speciation which he advanced ), based on his work on birds, is still considered a leading mode of speciation, and was the theoretical underpinning for the theory of punctuated equilibrium, proposed by Niles Eldredge and Stephen Jay Gould.

* Mayr on Eldredge and Gould's punctuated equilibria.

Niles Eldredge ’ s study of the Phacops trilobite genus supported the hypothesis that modifications to the arrangement of the trilobite ’ s eye lenses proceeded by fits and starts over millions of years during the Devonian.

This and other data led Stephen Jay Gould and Niles Eldredge to publish the seminal paper on punctuated equilibrium in 1971.

It is a term coined by Stephen Jay Gould and Niles Eldredge to contrast with their model of punctuated equilibrium, which is gradualist itself, but argues that most evolution is marked by long periods of evolutionary stability ( called stasis ), which is punctuated by rare instances of branching evolution.

In 1972, paleontologists Niles Eldredge and Stephen Jay Gould published a landmark paper developing this theory and called it punctuated equilibria.

Although some of the basic workings of the theory were proposed and identified by Mayr in 1954, historians of science generally recognize the 1972 paper by Niles Eldredge and Stephen Jay Gould as the foundational document of the new paleobiological research program.

Punctuated equilibrium differs from Mayr's hypothesis mainly in that Eldredge and Gould placed considerably greater emphasis on stasis, whereas Mayr was generally concerned with explaining the morphological discontinuity ( or " sudden jumps ") found in the fossil record.

Mayr later complimented Eldredge and Gould's paper, stating that evolutionary stasis had been " unexpected by most evolutionary biologists " and that punctuated equilibrium " had a major impact on paleontology and evolutionary biology.

A year before their 1972 Eldredge and Gould paper, Niles Eldredge published a paper in the journal Evolution which suggested that gradual evolution was seldom seen in the fossil record and argued that Ernst Mayr's standard mechanism of allopatric speciation might suggest a possible resolution.

The Eldredge and Gould paper was presented at the Annual Meeting of the Geological Society of America in 1971.

I coined the term punctuated equilibrium and wrote most of our 1972 paper, but Niles is the proper first author in our pairing of Eldredge and Gould.

" Eldredge in his book Time Frames recalls that the pair " after much discussion, each wrote roughly half.

John Wilkins and Gareth Nelson have argued that French architect Pierre Trémaux proposed an " anticipation of the theory of punctuated equilibrium of Gould and Eldredge.

When Eldredge and Gould published their 1972 paper, allopatric speciation was considered the " standard " theory of speciation.

Before Eldredge and Gould alerted their colleagues to the prominence of stasis in the fossil record, most evolutionists considered stasis to be rare or unimportant.

The punctuational nature of punctuated equilibrium has engendered perhaps the most confusion over Eldredge and Gould's theory.

Second, Eldredge and Gould relied upon an entirely different mechanism.

Where Simpson relied upon a synergistic interaction between genetic drift and a shift in the adaptive fitness landscape, Eldredge and Gould relied upon ordinary speciation, particularly Ernst Mayr's concept of allopatric speciation.

" Eldredge and Gould, believing that evolution jumps between stability and relative rapidity, are described as " discrete variable speedists ," and " in this respect they are genuinely radical.
