Incrementalism is the basis of change.

Incrementalism is the basis of all change. Changes in nature, such as mutations and evolution occur through the process of gradual transformation. Homo sapiens exist because of small changes (such as an expansion in the cortex) that occurred over generations. This is also how humans create change. The sciences have developed through continuous incremental changes. Each theory, technique, and/or experiment leading to the next. This is the same kind of seriality (gradual accumulation of small changes) that we see in the social sciences and policy creation. An example of this is the formation of a budget. Budgets are compared to the previous budget with certain areas being increased or decreased. Policies are formed by building off previous decisions, not by considering all possible alternatives.
