George Gaylord Simpson (June 6, 1902 - October 16, 1984) was an American paleontologist, highly influential in the 20th century and a key figure in modern evolutionary synthesis. He was an expert in extinct mammals and their continental migrations. Simpson proposed concepts like punctuated equilibrium and challenged the view of horse evolution being a linear progression. He coined the term 'hypodigm' in 1940, engaged extensively in the taxonomy of fossils and living mammals, and was a strong opponent of Alfred Wegener's continental drift theory.
