Йохан Якоб Кауп Йохан Якоб Кауп (на немски: Johann Jakob Kaup) е германски зоолог със значителни приноси в областта на палеонтологията. Биография[редактиране | edit source] Кауп е роден през 1803 година в Дармщат. Той учи последователно в Гьотингенския, Хайделбергския и Лайденския университет. След завръщането си в Дармщат е асистент, а от 1840 година - инспектор в музея на великото херцогство Хесен-Дармщат. През 1829 година Кауп публикува книгата „Skizze zur Entwickelungsgeschichte der europäischen Thierwelt“, в която разглежда животинския свят, като развил се от по-низши към по-висши форми - от земноводните през птиците до хищниците. По-късно той отхвърля този свой труд като младежка грешка и след публикуването на „Произход на видовете“ на Чарлз Дарвин се обявява против еволюционната теория. Йохан Якоб Кауп провежда проучвания на значителните фосилни находки в околностите на Дармщат и придобива солидна репутация с труда си „Beiträge zur näheren Kenntniss der urweltlichen Säugethiere“ (1855-1862). Той е автор и на „Classification der Säugethiere und Vögel“ (1844) и, в съавторство с Хайнрих Георг Брон, на „Die Gavial-artigen Reste aus dem Lias“ (1842-1844). Йохан Якоб Кауп умира през 1873 година в Дармщат.

Johann Jakob Kaup Johann Jakob Kaup (April 10, 1803 - July 4, 1873) was a German naturalist. A proponent of natural philosophy, he believed in an innate mathematical order in nature and he attempted biological classifications based on the Quinarian system. Biography[edit] 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). He died at Darmstadt. Mastodon fossil[edit] A particularly important incident in the history of paleontology involves Kaup. In 1854 he bought the American mastodon found in 1799 in Orange County, New York. This is the mastodon immortalized in Charles Willson Peale's painting of the 1801 excavation (painting executed between 1806 and 1808). This mastodon was on display for many years in Peale's Museum and is currently on display in Hessisches Landesmuseum Darmstadt, Germany[1] This mastodon is the first complete example found in the United States, and may be only the second fossil animal ever mounted for display.
