Drawing on a wealth of archival material, David Sepkoski shows how the movement was conceived and promoted by a small but influential group of paleontologists and examines the intellectual, disciplinary, and political dynamics involved in the ascendency of paleobiology. By tracing the role of computer technology, large databases, and quantitative analytical methods in the emergence of paleobiology, this book also offers insight into the growing prominence and centrality of data-driven approaches in recent science. 606 $aPaleobiology$xHistory 606 $aPaleontology$xHistory 610 $afossils, archaeology, paleontology, paleobiology, growth, academic, scholarly, discipline, evolution, evolutionary, history, historical, 19th century, 1900s, contemporary, modern, archival, study, research, college, university, textbook, higher ed, classroom, instructor, politics, political, controversy, science, scientific, scientist, theory, theoretical, macroevolution. 615 0$aPaleobiology$xHistory. 615 0$aPaleontology$xHistory. 676 $a560.9 700 $aSepkoski$b David$f1972-$01523671 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790192203321 996 $aRereading the fossil record$93763961 997 $aUNINA
