- W991988044 abstract "My subject is Shaw and conversion, but I would like to approach that subject initially by a somewhat circuitous route, taking in some aspects of theory, the evolution of Shaw's consciousness, and the effect on it of his exposure to Marx and Samuel Butler, before arriving at the plays and the way conversion is represented in them. My specific starting point is the concept of punctuated equilibria. According to standard Darwinian thinking, evolutionary change is generally slow, steady, gradual, and continuous.1 Evolution, it is argued, took place over very long periods of time by a process of successive tiny mutations in large populations in which, by the principle of natural selection, those organisms best adapted to the environment survived and those less well adapted died out. The only difficulty with this theory is that it is not supported by the fossil record, which yields no evidence of gradual change: New species almost always appeared suddenly . . . with no intermediate links to ancestors in older rocks of the same region.2 Darwin put this down to the fragmentary and imperfect character of the fossil record left to us, but he maintained that these gradual transitional stages must have existed, even those now lost to view. He held to the ancient maxim Natura non facit" @default.
