Carl Linnaeus was the first scientist to place all living organisms into kingdoms, classes, orders, genera , which were divided into species. He first used a binomial classification: Genus and species. Humans are Homo sapiens.

Many at the time had problems with him putting humans into a classification like this because of religious views. Until Darwin's papers about 100 years later did the dispute over evolution really heat up.
