I think JHB brought up some very important limitations with trying to model evolutionary patterns. Major extinctions are thought to have some kind of catalyst to force the change over a short period, like a big 'roid.
This led scientists like Stephen J

This is kind of cross topic, but is seems relevant.
I brew honey wine, otherwise known as mead, and I use a yeast (Saccharomyces baynus)
to produce the alcohol. This yeast is very territorial, and reproduces like
wild fire. In doing so it consumes its
