Typogenesis

the origin of new high-ranking taxonomic groups in the course of evolution. The term “typogenesis” was introduced in 1936 by the German geologist and paleontologist O. Schindewolf, who believed that new high-ranking groups originated not by gradual development but suddenly, by a quantum jump. Schindewolfs erroneous hypothesis of typogenesis was based on an exaggeration of the significance of incomplete paleontological records.
