Born: September 10, 1941, New York, New York [Died] May 20, 2002. New York, New York. Paleontologist, evolutionary biologist, and author from the United States. He wrote a series of essays titled "Reflections on Life" in Natural History magazine from 1974 to 2001. In 1972, together with Niles Eldrej, he published the theory of punctuated equilibrium. He argued that the evolution of species brings about long periods of stability intermittent with rapid speciation and morphological change, and disagreed with the theory of evolution established by Charles R. Darwin. He received his bachelor's degree in geology from Antioch University in 1963 and his doctorate in paleontology from Columbia University in 1967. He became a professor at Harvard University in 1973. He is the author of many books, including Ontogeny and Phylogeny (1977), The Panda's Thumb (1980), The Mismeasure of Man (1981), and The Structure of Evolutionary Theory (2002). He was elected a member of the National Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1983 and the National Academy of Sciences in 1989. Gould |
