Instantaneous speciation, also known as saltation, is a theory in evolutionary Biology that suggests new species can arise suddenly and rapidly, rather than through gradual accumulation of small changes. This idea challenges the traditional view of gradualism where species evolve slowly over time. However, there is limited empirical evidence to support the concept of instantaneous speciation.
