Saltatory Evolution and the Vine of Life

Abstract

Contrary to the gradualism of Lyell and Darwin, the fossil record shows that most evolution is saltatory, occurring in scattered leaps. I've studies three-letter organisms which by point mutation saltate (jump-evolve) into others, as yam into ram. You may doubt single mutations can turn plants into animals, but letters don't lie!
