neo-Darwinism if I'm not mistaken is ideologically driven but I could be
wrong. Punctuated equilibrium is SJ Gould's attempt to explain the spread of
adaptive traits. Lamarckianism (the inheritance of acquired characteristics)
has been debunked regarding biological evolution although it does in a sense
operate in cultural evolution.
The major theory of how evolution occurs is natural selection.
