Please acknowledge the racist undertones of Linnaeus "classification" work on humans. During the 18th Century "Enlightenment Period" in Europe, racist ideologies were put forward under the auspices of science, starting with Linnaeus. Racism was ingrained in society during that time period. Saying his motives and "classifications" of people where not motivated by racist beliefs and ideology ignores the context of that time along side his overtly racist language and descriptions. He contributed greatly to the field of Biology, but was also racist. These facts are not mutually exclusive. Please update.

It provides a plausible explanation to his attributions of temperaments according to skin color. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Matssven (talk • contribs) 22:21, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
