Yet evidence for such continuous change was not only lacking back then but is scarce even today, having prompted Darwin to label it "the gravest objection [that] can be urged against my theory."

Evolution proceeds in bursts, which are in turn preserved in the fossil record. — Albert-Laszlo Barabasi
