Karl Vogt, German Natural Scientist

Carl Christoph Vogt (July 5, 1817 - 5 May 1895) was a German scientist who emigrated to Switzerland. Vogt published a number of notable works on zoology, geology and physiology. In 1847 he became professor of zoology at the University of Giessen, and in 1852 professor of geology and later professor of zoology at the University of Geneva. His earlier publications were on zoology. He dealt with the Amphibia (1839), Reptiles (1840), with Mollusca and Crustacea (1845) and more generally with the invertebrate fauna of the Mediterranean (1854). In 1842, during his time with Louis Agassiz, he discovered the mechanism of apoptosis (programmed cell death). He was a proponent of polygenist evolution, he rejected the monogenist beliefs of most Darwinists and instead he believed that each race had evolved off different types of ape. Vogt was active in German politics and was a left-wing representative in the Frankfurt Parliament. He died in 1895 at the age of 77.
