Carolus Linnaeus (or Carl Von Linné) was born on May 23 1707, and died on January 10 1778. He was a Swedish scientist who laid the foundations for the modern scheme of taxonomy. (The science of biological classification of living things)

Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778) developed binomial nomenclature, the formal naming of species, as part of his work in the taxonomic classification of living things.

Carolus Linnaeus developed the present-day classification system for animals.
Carolus Linnaeus defined two main kingdoms in his classification studies of living things. For plants he chose Vegetabilia, and for animals he chose Animalia.

Carolus Linnaeus developed the present-day classification system for animals.
The classification of animals into groups based on shared characteristics was first introduced by the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle. This system formed the basis for modern taxonomy, which was further developed by Carl Linnaeus in the 18th century with his binomial nomenclature system.
The classification method that is presently used by scientists was developed by Carolus Linnaeus, in the 1700's. During his lifetime, Linnaeus collected around 40,000 specimens of plants, animals, and shells.
The early classification system for plants and animals was developed by Carolus Linnaeus in the 18th century. He is known as the "father of taxonomy" for introducing the binomial nomenclature system and grouping organisms based on shared characteristics.
