		Hugh Falconer suggested that a "law of Phyllotaxis" governed the arrangement of leaves around a stem in a series of fixed angles for every plant, and stated that there must then be "in nature, a deeper seated and innate principle, to the operation of which ""Natural Selection"" is merely an adjunct" (Falconer 1863a, p.

		I was then fresh from the examination of the Indian fossil remains of the valley of the Jumna; and the antiquity of the human race being a subject of interest to both, we conversed freely about it, each from a different point of view.
		As Dr. Falconer remarked, geology was now passing through the same ordeal that astronomy passed in the age of Galileo.

		It is evident throughout the fossil record that most species in the past have experienced extended periods, in the millions of years, in which little variation appears in their forms.
		This phenomenon, called stasis, was the object of considerable study by Darwin's contemporary Hugh Falconer (1808-1865), one of the most admired paleontologists of his day.
		Subsequent studies of the fossil record have established that many of the changes leading to new species occur with relative rapidity during shorter periods of geological time after such long periods of stasis.
