Now available in English for the first time, "Basic Questions in Paleontology" is a landmark work in twentieth-century evolution and paleontology. Originally published in German in 1950, Schindewolf's book was highly controversial for its thoroughgoing anti-Darwinism, but today his ideas are remarkably relevant to current research in evolutionary biology.
" This book] would rank number one on my list of items awaiting translation from the history of twentieth-century evolutionary theory."--Stephen Jay Gould
