Carl Linnaeus quotes - page 2
Carl Linnaeus was a Swedish botanist, physician, and zoologist, known as the father of modern taxonomy. His classification system laid the foundations for naming and organizing living organisms. He transformed biological science by standardizing the naming of species. Here are 28 of his quotes:
As a natural historian according to the principles of science, up to the present time I have been not been able to discover any character by which man can be distinguished from the ape; for there are somewhere apes which are less hairy than man, erect in position, going just like him on two feet, and recalling the human species by the use they make of their hands and feet, to such an extent, that the less educated travellers have given them out as a kind of man.
