The Structure of Evolutionary Theory
The Structure of Evolutionary Theory
(2002) is a technical book on
macroevolutionary theory
by
Harvard
paleontologist
Stephen Jay Gould
, published only two months before his death. The volume is divided into two parts. The first is a
historical study
and
exegesis
of classical
evolutionary thought
, drawing extensively upon primary documents. The second is a constructive critique of
contemporary Darwinian theory
, and presents a case for a
hierarchical
interpretation of biological evolution based largely on the author's theory of
punctuated equilibrium
.
