Dr. Winthrop-Young contributed “Deutsche Rindergrammatik; or, The Once and Future Aurochs” to the special sesquicentennial issue of New German Critique

The paper discusses the alleged resurrection of the extinct aurochs by the zoologists Lutz and Heinz Heck in the early 1930s and the relationship of their back-breeding ventures with National Socialist racial rewilding practices and modern ecological restoration projects.
