You're talking about allopatric speciation, not punk eek.

You obviously have don't have the foggiest idea of what punctuated equilibrium is.

So now they teach evolutionism including the ****ed attitudes in econ courses??

PE was an attempt to get around at least three of what Gould and several of his compatriots viewed as the big problems of standard Darwinism, i.e. the lack of intermediate fossils, the Haldane dilemma, and the fact that evolutionary dogma was preventing palaeontologists from publishing papers which dealt with questions of stasis in the fossil record.

"Allopatric speciation" is precisely the thing which the Haldane dilemma forbids. A reader would therefore be correct to assume ( as I did and you didn't know enough to) that the final paragraph of the article above referred to the possibility of small groups being isolated as Gould and others describe (i.e. ala PE).

Are there any other unrelated topics which the econ degree makes you an automatic expert at?
