Very excited to share our @Trends_Ecol_Evo review paper on #punctuated_evolution: a pattern of long-term stability interrupted by dramatic changes. A thread on the origins of rapid change, from large #extinctions to socio-technological #disruption.🌍🧬🛠

RT @AndrejSpiridon4: Interesting overview. Many cultural processes and technologies are typified by the rise, the plateau, and the fall --….
