Intermediate species forms, yes. A the taxa level, no. Still, not all taxa evidence is supportive of punctuation and stasis. Punctuated equilibrium is only one explanation of how evolution occurs in some species, not all species. The little shellies evidence gradualist processes very well.
because of evolution occurs slowly but steadily

This is the idea called punctuated equilibria, by paleontologists Stephen Jay Gould and Niles Eldredge. It explains the patterns seen in the fossil record.
Natural selection explains adaptive change in the immediate environment.
Homeostasis or equilibrium (?)
heliocentric theory, the theory of evolution, relativity theory
Evolution is a scientific theory. A theory is consistent with all known laws of physics and satisfactorily explains all confirmed observations.
This is the idea called punctuated equilibria, by paleontologists Stephen Jay Gould and Niles Eldredge. It explains the patterns seen in the fossil record.
A combination of both gradualism and punctuated equilibrium best explains the pace of evolutionary change
As for types of evolution: within the context of biology, there's only one accepted model for evolution: the model that explains evolution in terms of population genetics, pioneered by Charles Darwin. As for rates: according to the punctuated equilibrium model, the rates of divergence can vary wildly. Species can exist for hundreds of thousands of generations, with only superficial morphological change, and then in the space of a mere ten thousand generations branch off into distinct separate morphologies.
It explains that modern humans are the result of a long-going and ongoing process of reproductive variation and differential reproductive success, punctuated by divergence between subpopulations and subsequent speciation events.

Natural selection explains adaptive change in the immediate environment.
Evolution explains unity of life .
Homeostasis or equilibrium (?)
No. Evolution explains how and why organisms change over time. It makes no difference to evolution how organisms are generated.
the theory of evolution
It explains our observations in biology and palaeontology.
It explains the DIVERSITY of life. Nothing about it's origins.
