Instance Specification Evolution is Bumpy Road (Woese)
evolution is a bumpy road to who knows where. “Bumpy” implies that evolution, as a complex dynamic process, will encounter critical points in its course, junctures that result in phase transitions (drastic changes in the character of the system as a whole). "Who knows where” implies that the outcomes of these transitions, saltations, are not predictable a priori. Biologists now need to reformulate their view of evolution to study it in complex dynamic-systems terms.
