Does Evolution Occur in Quantum Jumps? Exploring a New Hypothesis

[rekoj]

Is it possible that evolution happens in quantum jumps as no intermediate lifeforms were ever found? Analogous to an electron jumping from lower energy level to higher energy level without intermediary states.

I apologize for this question in the wrong section. I am just curious about stuff in general and have my own evolution hypothesis - correcting the existing one with an explanation of why no intermediate lifeforms could be found. Thats about it.

Please do be mindful of the Physics Forums rule that new theories cannot be discussed here unless and until they have been published in an appropriate peer-reviewed journal.

Jonathan Weiner's book "The beak of the finch" is a good overview of how speciation occurs; you may find it both interesting and relevant.
