		Thesis: Carolus Linnaeus, who is considered by most historians of science to be the beginning of modern classifications of the human population, had many objectives he wanted to accomplish such as classifying all human beings into specific groups and finding out the relationship between apes and humans.
		Linnaeus did not only categorize these 4 groups, he also had several other categories for human types that included "homo ferus" and "Monstrosus." "Homo ferus" was referring to the wild men, and "Monstrosus" was a category that included a miscellany of exotic peoples such as "dwarfs" and "large, lazy Patagonians" (Smedley 161).

		In an effort to help viewers further understand Linnaeus' use of Latin, Greek or pseudo forms for his system, the scholars at the Hunt Institute have included an enlarged reproduction of one of the pages of "Species Plantarum" and highlighted and described the origins of the genus and species names contained on it.

	Carolus Linnaeus
		In 1733 Linnaeus was engaged at Uppsala in teaching the methods of assaying ores, but was prevented from delivering lectures on botany for academic reasons.
		When he appeared upon the scene, new plants and animals were in course of daily discovery in increasing numbers, due to the increase of trading facilities; he devised schemes of arrangement by which these acquisitions might be sorted provisionally, until their natural affinities should have become clearer.
		At the age of sixty his memory began to fail; an apoplectic attack in 1774 greatly weakened him; two years after he lost the use of his right side; and he died on the 10th of January 1778 at Uppsala, in the cathedral of which he was buried.
