All of which actually dovetails nicely with punctuated equilibrium. It appears the theory is about sudden phenotypical appearance of relatively small changes which still have to accumulate to get anywhere.
Schwartz's choice of characterizations of his theory will feed a new generation of Luddites, though. Some are already saying it works well with ID. Others will mock it as more "Hopeful Monster" nonsense. (It sounded overly saltational to me at first, but I think I see what he's saying now.)
As in, "to jump?" Can you pronnounce that word? lol!
Yeah, I agree, the word, "Origin," alone will bring undiscerning readers who are also "luddites" to believe they've found a new champion.
