	In his major work, ''Man and mammals: Toward a biology of form'' (1971), Schad transferred [[Rudolf Steiner]]'s idea of the [[threefold structure of the human organism]] to [[mammal]]s in the sense of a comparative [[morphology]].

	From 1982 to 1985 Schad published four anthologies with works by various authors under the title "Goetheanist Natural Science". Many of Schad's works appeared in anthroposophical journals, and he only occasionally wrote for others. As head of the Institute for Evolutionary Biology he became editor of the Scientific Series of the Institute for Evolutionary Biology and Morphology University of Witten/Herdecke.<ref>[https://www.shaker.de/de/content/catalogue/index.asp?lang=de&ID=6&category=521 Wissenschaftliche Schriftenreihe des Instituts für Evolutionsbiologie und Morphologie Universität Witten/Herdecke.

	In his research, Schad came to the conclusion that evolutionary developments did not take place by chance alone, but also not by teleology, but that in many living beings there lived a piece of inner autonomy which could lead them to new forms of development as a result of epigenetic changes, provided these were inherited.
