Carl von Linnaeus (1707-1778), a student of botany was born in Sweden and is considered the father of taxonomy, categorized a large group of species thus establishing divisions to group them for study. Many of these categories are used today.
Linnaean classification was based on the principle that plant and animal species living unit were the lower and higher categories grouped into generic.
Linnaeus calls this type of grouping or classification binomial nomenclature used and Latin, the language learned at the time, to name the different species and genera was classified, thus establishing a scientific language adopted internationally.
Finally, most of the scientific world today uses these five kingdoms RHWhitaker proposed to classify the world of biological diversity: Monera , Protists, Mushrooms, Plants and Animals . (see Margulis & Schwartz, 1985)
