Sandpile Criticality, Speciation, Mass Extinctions and Cambrian Explosion

M. Ayhan Murtaza Baloch

The abelian sandpile model is used to explain in a new way-the Cambrian explosion, continuous speciation, speciation bursts, mass Extinctions and extinction bursts. The sandpile model explains why continuous speciation exist however speciation bursts seem more common a pattern. Moreover, it explains how Cambrian explosion may have been a result of a small environmental change.
