I do not recall a "punctuated evolution ", but do recall a "punctuated equilibrium", which, at the time, I thought made alot of sense. If these two ideas are one and the same, I would like someone to present the sources of counter-evidense. So far, much of the discussion of goal oriented evolution sounds neo-Lamarkian to me.
