Where is it specified that speciation should be linear? Speciation
happens as a side effect of mutation as soon as the environment changes
significantly or as soon as a population of creates reaches a new
environment that is slightly similar but different to their normal
environment.
The appearance of new species is an emerging circle: a new species
appears with new abilities. This new species is better at competing for
resources than the existing species (or it would not survive). So
appearance of the new species is a significant impact on the environment
of other species, pressuring them to die out or speciate as well.

Also throughout the history of the Earth, rather
than species evolving they suddenly appeared in large numbers of
species. This does not look like evolution but rather mutation.


Mutation is a part of evolution. The main building blocks of evolution a
1) random Mutation that is slow enough to make the definition of a
species meaningful but fast enough to enable adjustment to changing
surroundings
2) survival of the fittest that kills off 99.99% of badly mutated creatures

Evolution says that these two mechanisms are sufficient to explain the
variety of life forms on earth.


Rolf - It was Charles Darwin himself that showed charts and comments that said that evolution proceeded at a constant pace. "As many more individuals of each species are born than can possibly survive; and as, consequently, there is a frequently recurring struggle for existence, it follows that any being, if it vary however slightly in any manner profitable to itself, under the complex and sometimes varying conditions of life, will have a better chance of surviving, and thus be naturally selected. From the strong principle of inheritance, any selected variety will tend to propagate its new and modified form."

Do you know the difference between natural variation and mutation? Mutation has absolutely NOTHING to co with evolution. Especially since most mutations are sterile.
