[6] From 1833 to 1836, he studied medicine at the University of Giessen, and continued his training in Bern, Switzerland, earning his PhD.

[8] In 1842, during his time with Louis Agassiz, he discovered the mechanism of apoptosis, the programmed cell death, while studying the development of the tadpole of the midwife toad (Alytes obstetricans).

Charles Darwin mentions Vogt's support for the theory of evolution in the introduction to his The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex (1871).

[10] Vogt defended the theory of polygenist evolution; he rejected the monogenist beliefs of most Darwinists and instead believed that each race had evolved from a different type of ape.

In Chapter VII of his Lectures on Man (1864), he compared the Negro to the White race and described them as “two extreme human types”.

[14][15] Years later, in 1870, with the fall of the Second Empire, French Republic under the Government of National Defense put up a "Commission chargée de réunir, classer et publier les papiers saisis aux Tuileries" ("Commission responsible for collecting, classifying and publishing the papers seized at the Tuileries") under the chairmanship of André Lavertujon [fr] to publish the documents survived Tuileries Palace fire.

Just plain Vogt without title, first name, address—well, that can only be the one Vogt, the world-famous scholar, the great discoverer of the round-worms and the flat-worms, of the long skulls and the short skulls, and of the Brimstone Gang, the man whose reputation is so well known, even to the police administering the secret fund, that any more detailed description would be superfluous!

You yourself have admitted that you offered many people money to act in the Bonapartist interests from April 1, 1859 until well into the summer of that year.

We swear by all round-worms and flat-worms: until you can prove the opposite to us, we must assume that you are the Vogt in question.This revelation was later adapted by other Marxists and Marxologists too, and since then being canonized.
