JAGER, GUSTAV (1832 )

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: INV-JED
JAGER, GUSTAV (1832 ) , German naturalist and hygienist, was born at Burg in Wurttemberg on the 23rd of June 1832. After studying
medicine
  at
Tubingen
  he became a teacher of
zoology
  at Vienna. In 1868 he was appointed professor of
zoology
  at the
academy
  of
Hohenheim
 , and subsequently he became teacher of zoology and anthropology at
Stuttgart
  poly-technic and professor of
physiology
  at the veterinary school. In 1884 he abandoned teaching and started practice as a physician in
Stuttgart
 . He wrote various works on biological subjects, including Die Darwinsche Theorie and ihre Stellung zu Moral and Religion (1868), Lehrbuch der allgemeinen Zoologie (18711878), and Die Enideckung der Seele (1878). In 1876 he suggested an hypothesis in explanation of heredity, resembling the germ-plasm theory subsequently elaborated by August Weismann, to the effect that the germinal protoplasm retains its specific properties from generation to generation, dividing in each re-production into an ontogenetic portion, out of which the individual is built up, and a phylogenetic portion, which is reserved to form the reproductive material of the mature off-
spring
 . In Die Normalkleidung als Gesundheitsschutz (188o) he advocated the
system
  of clothing associated with his name, objecting especially to the use of any kind of vegetable fibre for clothes.
