Linneaus was the man who first made the Taxonomy system. He placed organisms in 2 Categories (Kingdoms). Plantae (Plants) and Animalia (animals). After a while the Kingdom Protista (Microorganisms) was created. Then Fungi, then Monera, and then Monera was split into two groups (Bacteria and Archae).

His name was Carl Linne, but in accord with custom at the time, he was enrolled at Lund university under his Latinized name. His work on biota was of such stature that he was in 1959 designated as the lectotype for Homo sapiens.
