Ever since Darwin, the orthodox view of evolution has been of a smooth and gradual process driven by the continuous accumulation of small changes at the level of the organism. Th ...

Evolution by Natural Selection
... But as research continued and the number and diversity of fossil collections grew, the argument became less and less plausible. The issue was finally settled in 1812 when Baron Georges Cuvier published a detailed analysis of several extinct species— that is, species that no longer exist. Cuvier in ...
