Darwin's original thesis, and the viewpoint supported by evolutionary gradualists, is that species change continuously but slowly and in small increments.

达尔文最初的论点以及进化渐进主义者所支持的观点是，物种的变化是持续的，但非常缓慢，增量也很小。

Following each mass extinction, there is a sudden evolutionary burst as new species develop to fill the ecological niches opened by the event.

在每一次物种大灭绝后，都有一次突然的进化爆发，因为会有新物种出现来填补灭绝创造的生态位。

"Because mutations start occurring at regular intervals in these genes as soon as a new species evolves - like the ticking of a clock - we can use them to trace the evolutionary history of a species back to its time of origin, " said Dr Hedges.

As genetic sequences come in from other species, evolutionary relationships that have been argued about for over a century will become obvious.

The result will be an intimate merger between the technology-creating species and the technological evolutionary process it spawned.
