Carl linnaeus simple biography of josephus

Carl Linnaeus (23 May – 10 January ), also known as Carolus Linnaeus, was a Swedishbotanist, physician and zoologist who created the binomial nomenclature.^[1] In this system, every kind of animal and plant is given a name consisting of two Latin words, for its genus and species.^[2] This became used by biologists all over the world, so he is known as the "father of modern taxonomy".

He was a good linguist, and famous in his time. He was made a noble by the Swedish king.

Swedish creationist Carl Linnaeus was the founder of the modern classification system in the s.

The history which Linnaeus in the Philosophia Botanica ascribed to Royen is probably the combined key and Recensio which occupies 12 crowded pages of the Florae.

Linnaeus was born in the village of Råshult in Småland, Sweden, on 23 May He was the first child of Nicolaus Nils Ingemarsson who later adopted the family.

LINNAEUS'S time, phytography has found its manner of expression; its main standards and its technique, broadly speaking, were set.

Linnaeus had very rigid ideas about how taxonomy should be done, and like Aristotle he believed that all species were the result of divine.
