Paleontologists had long been aware of a seeming contradiction between Darwin's postulate of gradualism, confirmed by the work of population genetics, and the actual findings of paleontology.

So we said, 'OK.' That was the spark that got the whole thing going.

There were actually times where I thought, 'Do people even remember us? Are people gonna be interested in hearing what we put out next?
