Controversy Catastrophism And Evolution: The Ongoing Debate

Documents how traditional gradualistic views of biological and geographic evolution are giving way to a catastrophism that credits cataclysmic events, such as meteorite impacts, for the rapid bursts and abrupt transitions observed in the fossil record. This book discusses topics such as the history of the solar system and hominid evolution.
