Carl Linnaeus, Father of Classification
Linnaeus developed his classification system for organisms based on their morphology, or physical characteristics. He used a hierarchical system, grouping organisms into categories such as kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. This system became known as binomial nomenclature, where each species is given a two-part Latin name.
The first classification system was developed by Aristotle in ancient Greece around 350 BCE. His work laid the foundation for future classification systems, including the modern scientific classification system developed by Carl Linnaeus in the 18th century.

It was Carolus Linnaeus that invented The Classification of Animals
Classification using cladograms is based on evolutionary relationships and shows the specific evolutionary history of organisms through branching patterns. In contrast, Linnaean classification is based on shared physical characteristics and groupings of organisms into hierarchical categories such as kingdom, phylum, class, etc. Cladograms provide a more detailed and accurate depiction of relationships among species, while Linnaean classification provides a systematic way to organize and categorize different groups of organisms.
