How do you argue in favor of evolution when gaps are present?

Darwinism is a somewhat outdated term, referring sometimes to classical Darwinian notions of evolution by natural selection, and sometimes to the more comprehensive Modern Evolutionary Synthesis. Neither can be said to have 'gaps', per sé. The classical notion of Darwinian natural selection isn't the whole of the story, but then it never claimed to be the definitive answer - and indeed it wasn't, since it was elaborated upon, refined, strengthened by every new discovery since Darwin's time. As for the Modern Synthesis: nor does it claim to be the whole of the story. Every scientist agrees that there remain plenty of questions to be answered - in evolutionary biology as much as in every other field of science.


The theory that evolution occurs slowly but steadily is called?

Darwin's classic theory of evolution assumed that evolution is a slow, contunuous process, by which new species evolve and emerge. This is referred to at times as "organic evolution" and the "synthetic theory of evolution", or just the Darwinian theory of evolution. A newer theory, proposed originally by Niles Eldridge and Stephen Jay Gould is known as "punctuated equilibria", a model in which the evloution of new species occurs only periodically, in relatively rapid spurts. See "Time Frames the Rethinking of Darwinian Evolution and the Theory of Punctuated Equilibraia, Simon & Schuster, 1985"AnswerThe slow, constant process has also been called "gradualism."
