      abstract = {Although fossils have provided some of the most important  evidence for evolution, the discipline of paleontology has  not always had a central place in evolutionary biology.  Beginning in Darwin’s day, and for much of the  twentieth century, paleontologists were often regarded as  mere fossil collectors by many evolutionary biologists,  their attempts to contribute to evolutionary theory ignored  or regarded with scorn. In the 1950s, however,  paleontologists began mounting a counter-movement that  insisted on the valid, important, and original contribution  of paleontology to evolutionary theory.},
