About Carl Linnaeus
Carl Linnaeus, also known as Carl von Linné or Carolus Linnaeus, is often called the Father of Taxonomy. His system for naming, ranking, and classifying organisms is still in wide use today (with many changes).
Carl Linnaeus' Area of Expertise
Carl Linnaeus is an expert in botany, zoology, and taxonomy. He is known for creating a system of naming plants and animals—a system that is still used today. This system is known as the binomial system, whereby each species of plant and animal is given a genus name followed by a specific name (species), with both names being in Latin.
A random fact that I love is...
Did you know that the binomial system I created is still in use today? It's a testament to the timelessness of my work.
