His evolutionary developmental biology book
approaches the subject of the evolution of metazoan development from a cell lineage selection point of
view. He reevaluates August Weismann's model of the cell compartmentalization of somatic and germline
cell lineages (see Weismann barrier), and argues that the vision of the individual taken by the modern
synthesis is insufficient to explain the early evolution of development or ontogeny.

He collaborated with Walter Fontana in producing some of the first papers on artificial chemistries.
