The punctuated equilibrium hypothesis is a theory that most species have little evolutionary change throughout their geological history. They will remain in a state of stasis.
Punctuated equilibrium is not ' a theory of evolution ' but well ensconced within modern evolutionary theory. Scientists look for evidence, not proof. The evidence suggests that punctuated equilibrium and incremental change are not mutually exclusive and both can occur in nature.
