... populations over relatively short time-periods. Our picture of evolution on a larger scale - macroevolution - comes from comparative anatomy and embryology, from taxonomy and geographical distribution, and from palaeontology. The question naturally arises whether the processes of population genetics are sufficient to account for macroevolution. Very different views can be held on this question" [79: ... arising no earlier than 2,100 Myr ago [12,24,25]. Nevertheless, by 1981, the overall evidence of the fossil record had convinced some palaeontologists, notably Stephen Jay Gould, Niles Eldredge and Steven Stanley, that evolution must proceed in jumps. However, as we saw in chapter 3, this was still ...

Rare Fossil Octopus source: New Scientist 20.1 .83, p. 155 Palaeontologists have discovered the oldest known octopus fossil in the Ardèche region of southern France. There is some considerable excitement about this find, uncovered in the Ardèche marl and dated ...

In the world of palaeontology a fossil first heralded in the National Geographic, Nov. 99, as a missing link between dinosaurs and birds, has been revealed as a fake with the tail ... when life had recovered from the Cretaceous catastrophe. It appears that its anoxic sediments perfectly preserved the thousands of plants and animals which fell into it over the years, allowing palaeontologists to be able to reconstruct the climate and ecology of the area. The most common fish were related to species which today are able to exist in oxygen-low water by ...

In the evidence offered in Worlds in Collision for the theory, archaeology, geology and palaeontology play a minor part. Velikovsky's survey of the evidence from these fields for his theory is given in Earth in Upheaval, published in 1955. The book which he ... And the professional astronomers raised a gale of derision and denunciation that is blowing intermittently still. I do not know of any such reaction by historians, archaeologists, geologists or palaeontologists to Earth in Upheaval. But it is perfectly safe to assume that if there are no such, it is because these specialists shared the astronomers' estimate of the ...

Thus, in order to save the belief that life evolved out of nothing, increasing numbers of palaeontologists are adopting Gould's hypothesis of punctuated equilibrium' - a theory to explain the lack of evidence for the theory. The suggestion is that macro-evolution (distinct from variation, ...

Furthermore, "this enhanced level of radiation could lead to increased mutation rates among living species, thereby explaining sudden appearances and disappearances of species from the palaeontological record."

Coincidentally, around this time geological movements had caused South America to become connected to the North, and the Great American Interchange was beginning.

There is a great controversy over origins, and palaeontologists are still searching for missing links.
