This article is about Stephen Gould the paleontologist and science 
writer. For the science fiction writer, see Steven Gould.

Stephen Jay Gould (September 10, 1941 – May 20, 2002) was a prominent 
American paleontologist, evolutionary biologist, and historian of 
science. He was also one of the most influential and widely read 
writers of popular science of his generation. Gould spent most of his 
career teaching at Harvard University and working at the American 
Museum of Natural History in New York. In the latter years of his 
life, Gould also taught biology and evolution at New York University 
near his home in SoHo.

Gould's greatest contribution to science was his theory of punctuated 
equilibrium which he developed with Niles Eldredge in 1972.[1] The 
theory proposes that most evolution is marked by long periods of 
evolutionary stability, which is later punctuated by rare instances 
of branching evolution. The theory was contrasted against phyletic 
gradualism, the popular idea that evolutionary change is marked by a 
pattern of smooth and continuous change in the fossil record.

Most of Gould's empirical research was based on the land snails 
Poecilozonites and Cerion. He also contributed to evolutionary 
developmental biology, and has received wide praise for his book 
Ontogeny and Phylogeny. In evolutionary theory, he opposed strict 
selectionism, sociobiology as applied to humans, and evolutionary 
psychology. He campaigned against creationism and proposed that 
science and religion should be considered two distinct fields, or 
"magisteria," whose authority does not overlap.[2]

Many of Gould's Natural History essays were reprinted in collected 
volumes, such as Ever Since Darwin and The Panda's Thumb, while his 
popular treatises included books such as The Mismeasure of Man, 
Wonderful Life and Full House.Contents [hide]
