Author of The Panda's Thumb and The Flamingo's Smile, this thinker argued in Wonderful Life that the fossil finds in the Burgess Shale provided evidence of parallel evolutionary trends extinguished by chance rather than natural selection. His work on the developmental process of recapitulation can be found in Ontogeny and Phylogeny, while he is best known for a theory stating that evolution of species does not occur at a steady rate but could suddenly accelerate, with rapid changes occurring over a few hundred thousand years.
