When captain James Cook returned from his first voyage to Tahiti and Austrlia, scndal writers salaciously satirised the scientific ambitions and amorous exploits of his botanist Josepgh Banks. To the horror of Bitisch educators, Banks backed the schemes of Carl Linnaeus, who classified plants by counting their sexual organs and tried to rescue the Swedish economy by growing ropical crops in the frozen north. As President of the Royal Society, Banks was in a powerful position to help ensure that Britain would dominate the world in the name of science.
