After a necessary biographical and historical survey, the author analyzes the expedition that the naturalist Michel Adanson (1727-1806) undertook in Senegal from 1749 to 1754. A general report concerning his scientific discoveries in natural sciences is given as well as a brief overview of the issue of slavery during colonization at that time.
