Following Gaupp studied medicine at the universities of Königsberg and Breslau , where he in 1889 with a dissertation: About the dimensions and weight differences between the bones of the right and left extremity of the people doctorate was. During his time in Breslau, he was particularly good at dealing with u. a. Hasse and Born were strongly influenced by Gegenbaur's ideas.
