Abstract
If Stephen Jay Gould and Niles Eldredge are right that evolution proceeds in short periods of rapid phenotypic change followed by periods of prolonged stasis, and, for a moment, we apply this model to the history of science, then, without any doubt, we are witnessing a period of extremely rapid evolution in the field of evolutionary developmental biology ("evo-devo" for short). What had been a trickle of experimental and theoretical contributions during the 1970s and a small but sustained flow of studies during the 1980s and early 1990s has now turned into an outburst of scientific advances that truly revolutionize our understanding of phenotypic evolution.
