Stephen Gould, US palaeontologist
Stephen Gould. Caricature of the US palaeontologist, evolutionary biologist, science historian and author Stephen Jay Gould (1941-2002) holding a collection of his essays called The Pandas Thumb. Gould was one of the most influential and widely read writers of popular science of his generation. He is best known for his theory of punctuated equilibrium which he developed with Niles Eldredge in 1972. The theory proposes that most evolution is marked by long periods of evolutionary stability, which is punctuated by rare instances of branching evolution

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Stephen Gould, a renowned US palaeontologist and influential figure in the field of evolutionary biology. In this caricature, Gould is depicted holding his collection of essays titled "The Pandas Thumb" showcasing his expertise as a science historian and author. With a comical twist to his appearance, the image reflects Gould's ability to engage readers through his witty and insightful writing style. Gould's groundbreaking theory of punctuated equilibrium takes center stage in this portrait. Developed alongside Niles Eldredge in 1972, it proposes that evolution primarily occurs during long periods of stability interrupted by rare instances of branching evolution. This revolutionary concept challenged traditional views on gradualism and had a profound impact on the scientific community. With an illustrious career spanning several decades, Gould became one of the most widely read writers on popular science during his generation. His contributions to paleontology, anthropology, and zoology solidified him as a respected researcher and scientist. Set against a white background with monochromatic tones, this artful illustration showcases both Gould's intellectual prowess and humorous personality. It serves as a testament to his lasting legacy within the realms of biological sciences and natural history. This print from Science Photo Library pays homage to Stephen Jay Gould's significant contributions while capturing the spirit behind his remarkable work.
