Punctuated Equilibria is a theory proposed by Stephen Jay Gould and Niles Eldredge to explain patterns of speciation in the fossil record. They pointed out that the record seems to show most species undergo long periods of relatively little change (stasis), then undergo rapid bursts of change at irregular (punctuated) intervals. Evolution did not seem to proceed at a stately, constant, slow speed. Gould and Eldredge explained this by taking the standard idea of how species form (allopatric speciation, or speciation in small isolated groups at the periphery of populations) and showing that this process would produce exactly the pattern which is observed in the fossil record. Essentially, evolution and speciation can occur rapidly in small isolated populations, sometimes too quickly for the fossil record to track all of the intermediate forms. The result is what looks like abrupt emergence of forms with little or no transitional stages, when in reality the evolution had occurred through intermediate stages, only too quickly for the slow process of fossilization to capture it.

Why did nature create human beings?
It is just a natural process, directed by natural laws and driven by fundamental natural tendencies. We are just one level up from biological information evolution; we are biological information evolution on thinking information evolution level. Some other animals also have simple and primitive emotions, logic, strategies, and thoughts. And there are surely many other intelligent lives in the universe. Nature created intelligent lives for what it cannot do itself --- information evolution on thinking information level --- which has higher evolution efficiency than natural information evolution.
