#' @param con list; required: TRUE; BrAPI connection object
#' @param additionalInfo list; required: FALSE; Additional arbitrary information.
#'    If provided use the following construct list(additionalProp1 = "string",
#'    additionalProp2 =  "string", additionalProp3 = "string").
#'
#'    The Examples section shows an example on how to construct the
#'    `additionalInfo` argument as a list.
#' @param description character; required: FALSE; A description of this person.
#' @param emailAddress character; required: FALSE; An email address for this
#'    person.
#' @param externalReferences data.frame; required: FALSE; A data.frame of
#'    external reference ids. These are references to this piece of data in an
#'    external system. Could be a simple string or a URI. The `externalReferences`
#'    argument data.frame should contain the following columns:
#'
#'    * `referenceID` character; required: TRUE; The external reference ID. Could
#'      be a simple string or a URI.
#'    * `referenceSource` character; required: TRUE; An identifier for the source
#'      system or database of this reference.
#'
#'    The Examples section shows an example of how to construct the
#'    `externalReferences` argument as a data.frame.
#' @param firstName character; required: FALSE; Persons first name.
#' @param middleName character; required: FALSE; Persons middle name.
#' @param lastName character; required: FALSE; Persons last name.
#' @param mailingAddress character; required: FALSE; Physical address of this
#'    person.
#' @param phoneNumber character; required: FALSE; phone number of this person.
#' @param userID character; required: FALSE; A systems user ID associated with
#'    this person. Different from `personDbId` because you could have a person,
#'    who is not a user of the system.
#'
#' @details Create new People entities. `personDbId` is generated and managed by the server.

#' @return data.frame
