Milankovitch cycles (20-100 k.y.) have been present throughout Earth history. Milankovitch cycles force

an instability of climate and other aspects of the environment on time scales much less than typical species durations (I-30 m.y.). A four-tier hierarchy of time scales for evolutionary processes can be constructed as follows: ecological time (thousands of years), Milankovitch cycles (20-100 k.y.), geological time (millions of years), mass extinctions (~26 m.y.). 'Ecological time' and 'geological time' are defined temporally as the intervals between events of the second and fourth tiers, respectively. Gould's (1985) 'paradox of the first tier' can be resolved, at least in part, through the undoing of Darwinian natural selection at the first tier by Milankovitch cycles at the second tier.
