Dankmar Bosse

Dankmar Bosse (born 30 May 1940 in Weimar) is a German geologist.

He studied at the Bergakademie in Freiberg/Saxony Geology, Palaeontology and Mineralogy and worked at the Central Geological Institute in Berlin-East until 1989, mainly on topics related to the regional geology of Central Europe. After that, he worked as a freelancer, giving seminars, lectures, excursions and geology lectures at Waldorf schools. Since his student days he has devoted himself to anthroposophical research work in all geoscientific fields.

After the publication of the German original of his book "Mutual Evolution of Earth and Humanity: Sketch of a Geology and Paleontology of the Living Earth" in 2002 he was accused by Wolfgang Schad and other Goetheanists of falsifications of the source material used and scientifically untenable statements and interpretations.

He lives in Berlin-Pankow.
