Career

Carus was born in Leipzig. He served as curator of the Museum of Comparative Anatomy at Oxford University from 1849 to 1851, and as professor of comparative anatomy and director of the Zoological Museum at the University of Leipzig in 1853.

Carus was an early supporter of Darwinism. With Charles Darwin's approval, he became his German translator. In 1872 he published his own History of Zoology in which he criticized the inaccuracies of Pliny the Elder's work and said that the philosopher "misunderstood Aristotle.". In 1875, Carus issued a German edition of Darwin's collected works.
