Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present a reasonable paleontological basis for interpreting species durations over geologic time. The context is to evaluate the currently much discussed model of punctuated equilibria. I will take the position of a devil's advocate and explore the biases that are inherent in the model as customarily used.
