In what book or publication did Gould best describe his ideas
regarding punctuation and stasis? Were his ideas on PE truly original?
Have his ideas been further refined by others or not?
To me the only obvious driver for PE would be the size of the gene
pool for that population, and thus population crashes would provide an
opportunity for spurts of evolutionary development. The only other
rapid "punctuated" sort of change that I can imagine would be
something like a segmented worm gaining another segment, which I don't
think is related to PE.
