S.J. Gould is an advocate of this view of life (that it is not an orderly
succession from bacterium to Republican), and presents it as a theme of his
recent book  "Wonderful Life".  It is an interesting, though characteristically somewhat bombastic, description of the Burgess Shale and its
implications to evolutionary theory; stars Jimmy Stewart and sundry
unheard-of phyla.
