Annelids, a group of segmented worms, have been known since ancient times, with early references in texts by Aristotle around 350 BCE. However, more systematic studies of annelids began in the 18th century, particularly with the work of naturalists like Carl Linnaeus, who classified many species. The formal recognition and classification of annelids as a distinct group occurred in the 19th century as biological sciences advanced.
Over 17,000 species of annelids have been discovered.
