Gould’s publications and findings change the way that most scientist see science. Many of them use Punctuated Equilibrium in their studies. For instance, a scientist might wonder why a certain type of species was taking forever to evolve over many years. He studies and studies the species until there is nothing else to do. So, he uses Punctuated Equilibrium and his problems are solved.
