Difference between Chaos theory and Punctuated equilibrium

Chaos theory vs. Punctuated equilibrium

Chaos theory is a branch of mathematics focusing on the behavior of dynamical systems that are highly sensitive to initial conditions. Punctuated equilibrium (also called punctuated equilibria) is a theory in evolutionary biology which proposes that once species appear in the fossil record the population will become stable, showing little evolutionary change for most of its geological history.

Similarities between Chaos theory and Punctuated equilibrium

Chaos theory and Punctuated equilibrium have 4 things in common (in Unionpedia): Catastrophe theory, Evolution, Niles Eldredge, Stephen Jay Gould.

Catastrophe theory

In mathematics, catastrophe theory is a branch of bifurcation theory in the study of dynamical systems; it is also a particular special case of more general singularity theory in geometry.
