Description

Across many scales of life, the rate of evolutionary change is often accelerated at the time when one lineage splits into two. The emergence of novel protein function can be facilitated by gene duplication (neofunctionalization); rapid morphological change is often accompanied by speciation (punctuated equilibrium); and the establishment of cultural identity is frequently driven by sociopolitical division (schismogenesis). In each case, the changes resist re-homogenization; promoting assortme...
