Johann Jakob Kaup
Johann Jakob Kaup (
April 10,
1803 -
July 4,
1873) was a
German naturalist.He was born at
Darmstadt. After studying at
Göttingen and
Heidelberg he spent two years at
Leiden, where his attention was specially devoted to the
amphibians and
fishes. He then returned to Darmstadt as an assistant in the grand ducal museum, of which in 1840 he became inspector. In 1829 he published Skizze zur Entwickelungsgeschichte der europäischen Thierwelt, in which he regarded the animal world as developed from lower to higher forms, from the amphibians through the birds to the beasts of prey; but subsequently he repudiated this work as a youthful indiscretion, and on the publication of
Darwin's
Origin of Species he declared himself against its doctrines. The extensive
fossil deposits in the neighbourhood of Darmstadt gave him ample opportunities for
palaeontological inquiries, and he gained considerable reputation by his Beiträge zur näheren Kenntniss der urweltlichen Säugethiere (1855-1862). He also wrote Classification der Säugethiere und Vögel (1844), and, with
Heinrich Georg Bronn, Die Gavial-artigen Reste aus dem Lias (1842-1844).

Biografia Dopo aver studiato a
Gottinga e
Heidelberg, trascorse due anni a
Leida, dove rivolse le sue attenzioni soprattutto agli
anfibi e ai
pesci. In seguito tornò a Darmstadt come assistente nel museo granducale, di cui nel 1840 divenne ispettore. Nel 1829 pubblicò Skizze zur Entwickelungsgeschichte der europäischen Thierwelt, in cui guardava al mondo animale come un susseguirsi di vari sviluppi dalle forme inferiori a quelle superiori, dagli anfibi, attraverso gli uccelli, ai grandi carnivori; ma successivamente ripudiò questo lavoro ritenendolo un'operetta giovanile, e riguardo la pubblicazione dell'
Origine delle Specie di
Darwin si dichiarò contrario alla sua dottrina. Gli ingenti depositi
fossiliferi nelle vicinanze di Darmstadt gli dettero un'ampia opportunità di compiere studi
paleontologici, trattati nel Beiträge zur näheren Kenntniss der urweltlichen Säugethiere (1855-1862). Scrisse anche Classification der Säugethiere und Vögel (1844), e, con Heinrich Georg Bronn, Die Gavial-artigen Reste aus dem Lias (1842-1844).

Иоганн Якоб Кауп (;
10 апреля 1803,
Дармштадт —
4 июля 1873, там же) —
немецкий зоолог.Посещал Геттингенский и Гейдельбергский университеты, занимался при лейденских коллекциях под наблюдением
Темминка. В
1827 г. опубликовал сочинение «Набросок истории развития и природной системы европейского животного мира» , в котором описывал историю животного мира как развитие от низших форм к высшим (от амфибий к птицам и далее к хищникам). Позднее, однако, Кауп считал эту свою работу юношеской ошибкой и резко выступал против
дарвинизма. Наибольшее значение имеют труды Каупа по
палеонтологии.
