Linnaeus, almost a century before Darwin, was among the first natural historians to discuss humans as a natural part of the Animal kingdom in print, drawing similarities between humans, monkeys, and apes, and was willing to both consider and debunk "Homo Troglodytes" (cavemen) as possible relatives or ancestors of man. Linnaeus also invented an original taxonomical system (with Kingdoms of Plants and Animals subdivided into Phylum, Class, Order, Genus, and Species) that, with some modification and expansion, is still in use today, and is also considered the father of modern ecology.
