Quantavolution
What is Quantavolution?
Quantavolution is the phrase created by Alfred de Grazia to explain the idea of sudden and drastic changes to the Earth - to the planet itself, environment, life forms on it, culture - normally brought on by catastrophes. Instead of the idea of uniformitarianism which is very very slow changes.
Quantavolution changes could also apply to our solar system. And perhaps the universe?
Quantavolution - The world has changed mostly by large-scale and abrupt jumps or saltations or quantavolutions from earliest to present times.
Alfred de Grazia
Alfred de Grazia based his ideas and works on catastrophe and catastrophists and especially on the works of Immanuel Velikovsky and French archaeologist Claude Schaeffer.
Big forces could create big changes in a very short period of time. Could Quantavolution explain Darwins Dilema? The sudden appearance and evolution of animals.
What is Quantavolution?
The original source of the saltatory changes of the earth and man has been in the skies, in disorders among the heavenly bodies. The celestial disturbances wrecked and reconstituted the atmosphere, rocks, and waters of the world. All combined to reorder the plant and animal kingdoms. Finally they created and molded modern humankind.
