Why Is Ernst Caspari Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Ernst Wolfgang Caspari was a German-American geneticist known for his research on behavioral and developmental genetics. Early life and education Caspari was born on October 24, 1909, in Berlin, Germany. He was one of four children of Wilhelm Caspari, a physiologist, and his wife Gertrud. Despite being from a Jewish family, Wilhelm and Gertrud were Protestants, as were their children: Ernst, Fred, Irene, and Max. Ernst attended the Kaiser-Friedrich-Schule in Berlin, followed by the Goethe-Gymnasium zu Frankfurt. He decided he wanted to become a geneticist after reading a copy of Richard Goldschmidt's book Ascaris, eine Einführung in die Wissenschaft vom Leben für Jedermann as a Christmas present when he was 14. He emigrated to the United States in 1938, and became a naturalized citizen of the United States in 1944. He was trained by Alfred Kühn at the University of Göttingen, receiving his Ph.D. there in 1933. He was forced by the Nazis to leave his position in Kühn's lab later that year.
