Wow... He was the scientist that studied plants and animals and figured out what families they belonged to.




Carolus Linnaeus was a Swedish biologist who lived from 1707 to 1778. His Swedish name was Carl, but he used a Latin version, Carolus, when he was at University and when he wrote his books.

He spent his life collecting lots of specimens of animals and plants, and classifying them into groups based upon similarity. He started the system of naming animals and plants with two Latin-sounding words, one for the 'genus' and one for the 'species'. For example, humans are called Homo sapiens, and tigers are Panthera tigris. This system is still in use today, and it is still called Linnaean taxonomy, so Linnaeus had a lasting influence on Biology.
