‘Finnish girls have big breasts’ – Linnaeus
The Local is not responsible for the content of blog comments.
The Guardian is pointing its readers in the direction of Carl Linnaeus’s little known Notes from Lapland.
Keeping a record of his five-month trip to the far north of Sweden, the renowned botanist mixed observations on rare plants with reflections on the wider society.
He noted for example a hole in a church wall used by monks “to judge the glans penis of men who had been rejected by their wives.”
As for the female form, the Swedish scientist had plenty to say. For instance:
Finnish girls have big breasts, Lapp girls have small ones of a sort a girl keeps unspoilt for her future husband.
It’s the 300th anniversary of Linnaeus’s birth this year and he’s still stirring things up.
