Stephen Jay Gould
Sobre el Autor
Stephen Jay Gould was an influential American paleontologist, evolutionary biologist, and historian of science. He was known for his contributions to the field of evolutionary theory, particularly the concept of punctuated equilibrium, which he developed with Niles Eldredge. This theory posits that species evolution is characterized by long periods of stability interrupted by brief periods of rapid change. Gould's work helped to shape the modern understanding of evolution and its complexities, challenging traditional views and opening new avenues of thought.
