Excerpt Response

At first I didn't know where this project was headed, but after reading the two excerpts I have an understanding. Classification systems are a structure that is considered the law in science. And in both of these short readings people have challenged that idea. Richard Feynman wrote, "Teach how doubt is not to be feared but welcomed." The idea of this assignment is to push authority asside and challenge it with no fear.
It was interesting to see how museums evolved into what they are today. During the discovery of America it seemed almost any kind of animal could exist. All the new animals created a great deal of displays almost freakshows of endless creatures. I remember reading about Mr. Wilsons Cabinet of Wonder in another class. The museum is filled with real and fake taxonamy but some are so convincing you can't tell the diffrence. It's interesting how they make you question yourself and how it sparks you imagination.
