One example I know is a review of how Carl #Linneaus used (invented?) index cards for his research: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.shpsc.2011.10.021
But feels like there should be more retrospectives on how effective scientists structured their "real" work (notwithstanding the kabuki show telling the research story in publications) than just once every 250 years like for Linneaus.
Would love to know of other examples out there!

@Edent #Linneaus in 1758 divided mankind into a range of races (or subspecies, the terms were indistinguishable): ferus (goes on all 4s), americanus (red), asianus (yellow or sallow), europeanus (white), africanus (black). Each is attributed one of the medieval humours.
Original Latin & Turton's English translation of 50 years later.
