Re: Dis \'n Dat with Freeman Dyson
[ QUOTE ]
I was struck by this quote of Dyson: "Species once established evolve very little, and the big steps in evolution mostly occur at speciation events when new species appear with new adaptations.
[/ QUOTE ]
"speciation EVENT" and "new species APPEAR" pretty well did it for me. It's a poor framework to be looking at evolution from, and I'm being kind because he's old and it's not a field he's studied.
( I'm skipping over "big steps" and "once established", etc)
