Modern biological classification evolved from the works of Carolus Linnaeus, who grouped species according to shared physical characteristics. These groupings subsequently were revised to be consistent with the Darwin's principle of common descent. More recently, using DNA sequences as data, many revisions have been made and continue to be made.

Carolus Linnaeus' great work was the Systema Naturæ (1st ed. 1735). In this work, nature was divided into three kingdoms: mineral, vegetable and animal. Linnaeus used five ranks: class, order, genus, species, and variety.
