Carolus Linnaeus is usually credited as the father of modern taxonomy and scientific nomenclature. He broke down each species into hierarchical groups:

Kingdom

Phylum

Class

Order

Family

Genus

Species

Linnaeus originally broke down all organisms into either the animal or plant kingdom with a third kingdom for minerals. The kingdoms now include, in addition to animalia and plantae, fungi, protista, archaea and eubacteria.
