<The rapid change, the punctuated phase of evolution, is just the flip side of the equilibrium. Whenever the selection process is not random then the species will repeatedly get selected for that trait and change.> The point is, can random mutation select quickly enough... of course that it CAN may be the profoundly simple thing that becomes apparent. :) <There are other factors that promote rapid change included the isolation of a rather small population so that the changes are not swamped by a large pool of genes traded during sex. > But then you have less numbers of random mutations going on overall.
