Punctuated equilibrium - English

Punctuated equilibrium, the notion that evolution in nature is stepwise rather than continuous, sometimes applies to evolution in science as well. It happens that the seed of a scientific breakthrough slumbers for a decade or even longer, without generating much interest. The seed can be a theoretical concept without clear predictions to test experimentally, or an intriguing but confusing experiment without a lucid interpretation. When the seed finally germinates, an entire field of science can reach maturity in a few years.

There are few components of modern evolutionary theory which seem so prone to misinterpretation as Niles Eldredge and Stephen Jay Gould's theory of punctuated equilibria. This article explains the purpose and meaning of punctuated equilibria and dispels some of the myths about it.

A Punctuated Equilibrium Model of Technology Diffusion - English
URL: http://www.parc.xerox.com/istl/groups/iea/abstracts/MultiagentDynamics/punctuate

Presents an evolutionary model of technology diffusion in which an old and a new technology are available, both of which improve their performance incrementally over time. Technology adopters make repeated choices between the established and the new technology based on their perceived performance, which is subject to uncertainty. Both technologies exhibit positive externalities, or performance benefits from others using the same technology.

Punctuated Equilibrium - English
URL: http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Lab/1366/pe.html

By Robyn Conder Broyles. This paper was written in December 1997. It explains the basics of the model of Darwinism known as "punctuated equilibrium," including its mechanisms, the role of extinction in it, and the proper ways to test it. It also considers the question raised by Richard Dawkins regarding its real theoretical value: is it really a new and revolutionary theory, or is it just another modification of Darwinism?
