Your geneticist friend doesn't know who Niles Eldredge is? And doesn't know that Gould wasn't a geneticist?

Hmmm.

Yes, he's a geneticist. PhD from UC Berkeley. He's an expert in plant genetics and travels the world, working with governments, and giving lectures at international symposiums. Perhaps you'd like to debate him with your infinite knowledge of science.
