Abstract

It is a pleasure to be invited to contribute to the celebration of the publication of “punctuated equilibria” (“punk eek”) 50 years ago—the canonical version I did with Steve Gould (Eldredge and Gould 1972) at the behest of Tom Schopf for his visionary project to inject more thought, more interpretation and theory, into the working lives of paleontologists.

对点状均衡的思考

很高兴应邀参加 50 年前 "点状均衡"（"朋克诶"）一书的出版庆祝活动--这是我和史蒂夫-古尔德（Steve Gould，埃尔德雷奇和古尔德，1972 年）共同完成的经典版本，是汤姆-肖普夫（Tom Schopf）为其远见卓识的项目所要求的，目的是为古生物学家的工作生活注入更多思想、更多解释和理论。

期刊介绍： Paleobiology publishes original contributions of any length (but normally 10-50 manuscript pages) dealing with any aspect of biological paleontology. Emphasis is placed on biological or paleobiological processes and patterns, including macroevolution, extinction, diversification, speciation, functional morphology, bio-geography, phylogeny, paleoecology, molecular paleontology, taphonomy, natural selection and patterns of variation, abundance, and distribution in space and time, among others. Taxonomic papers are welcome if they have significant and broad applications. Papers concerning research on recent organisms and systems are appropriate if they are of particular interest to paleontologists. Papers should typically interest readers from more than one specialty. Proposals for symposium volumes should be discussed in advance with the editors.
