Linnaean taxonomy [SEP] based on
Linnaean taxonomy
Linnaean taxonomy can mean either of two related concepts: 
1. the particular form of biological classification (taxonomy) set up by Carl Linnaeus, as set forth in his "Systema Naturae" (1735) and subsequent works. In the taxonomy of Linnaeus there are three kingdoms, divided into "classes", and they, in turn, into "orders", "genera" (singular: "genus"), and "species" (singular: "species"), with an additional
phylum), class, order, family, genus, and species. The Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus is regarded as the founder of the current system of taxonomy, as he developed a system known as Linnaean taxonomy for categorizing organisms and binomial nomenclature for naming organisms.
With the advent of such fields of study as phylogenetics, cladistics, and systematics, the Linnaean system has progressed to a system of modern biological classification based on the evolutionary relationships between organisms, both living and extinct.
