I claimed that for a while he had presented punctuated equilibrium as a revolutionary "saltationist" alternative to standard neo-Darwinism, and he implored me to check this claim by reviewing all his work that dealt with the issue. ❋ Dennett, Daniel C. (1997)
John Davison, front - loader and saltationist par excellence claims "the environment had nothing to do with it". ❋ Unknown (2008)
You must be unconsciously channeling the notorious saltationist Richard Goldschmidt. ❋ Unknown (2008)
It is the rapid saltationist evolution (as proposed by the late Stephen J. Gould of Harvard) of our polity away from self-destructive habits. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Some of the theoretical options of the late nineteenth-century included neo-Lamarckianism, saltationist and orthogenetic theories, and a complex body of theories that attempted to build upon Darwin's insights, typically without making strong use of his principle of natural selection (Shanahan 2004; Bowler 1996, 1983). ❋ Sloan, Phillip (2008)
The most ID could accomplish therefore is some means of testiong saltationist or teleological theories. ❋ Unknown (2006)
So ID is consistent with multiple positions: 1. Young Earth Creationism 2. Old Earth Creationism 3. Progressive Creationism 4. Teleological and saltationist theories of evolution ❋ Unknown (2006)
For that reason, evolutionary theory no longer has much need for saltationist theories of organismal evolution; just as noiz does not have much need for saltationist theories of chair evolution. ❋ Jtwitten (2010)
In this molecular age of biology, the appeal of a saltationist theory of evolution is not necessarily evident. ❋ Jtwitten (2010)
While modern evolutionary biology does not include saltationist theories, a great deal of scientific debate following Darwin's ❋ Jtwitten (2010)
So there are (at least) five kinds of transformist, all of which accept that biological species can transform , but which disagree on the mechanism: the pure variationist (external factors alone), the orthogeneticist (the 'volition' or tendency of the plant itself), the Lamarckian ('habit' or accumulation of characteristics), the saltationist; and the selectionist (Darwinian). ❋ Unknown (2006)
Eldridge also added that "The most common misconception about" punctuated equilibria "- that Gould and I proposed a saltationist model of overnight change supposedly based on sudden mutations with large-scale effects ❋ Unknown (2009)
