Carl Linnaeus quotes - page 2

The principle being accepted that all Species of one Genus have arisen from one mother through different fathers, it must be assumed. (Carl Linnaeus)
We may assume that plants have arisen within the orders, i.e. by genera of one order, may mix with each other. In this was there will arise species that should be referred to the mother's genus as her daughters. View quote
Carl Linnaeus
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.
