Question

What are two differences between phyletic gradualism and punctuated equilibrium? How would each explain the process through which species of the genus homo emerged?

Answer 1

Answer) Phyletic gradualism is a model of evolution which theories that each most speciation is slow, uniform and gradual. When evolution occurs in this mode it is generally by a steady transformation of a whole species into a new one.

Punctuated equilibrium is a theory in evolutionary biology which proposes that once s species appear in the fossil record, the population become stable, showing little evolutionary changes in the rest of its geological history. This state of little or no evolutionary changes is called ststis.

In Phyletic gradualism the evolution of species is slow and gradual. In punctuated equilibrium there is no much evolution once the species appear, and the population is considered stable.
