Taxonomy
Aristotle

first person to
•
classified living things as
•
grouped animals as
– land dwellers
– air dwellers
– water dwellers
•
he groups plants into 3 groups based on their stems
•
his system was based on common names
organisms
or
Why Doesn’t That System Work?
•
– for example: whales are classified with fish in the water and bats with birds in the air. Actually
bats and whales are more closely related to each other as mammals
•
– for example: a dog in English is a chien in French, a cane in Italian and a perro in Spanish
•
– for example: jellyfish are not fish
Linnaeus
Linnaeus’ levels of classification
 K
 largest and most inclusive (there are 6 of them)
 P
 called division in plants

Note: you need to memorize these 7 levels in
order. Some people use memory aids like:
C
O
F
G
S
“King Philip Came Over For Great Soup.”
 smallest and most inclusive
 only one organism type/species (eg. dog)

italicized (or underlined if hand written)
genus is always
species is always
eg- Panthera leo is the scientific name of a lion
Canis familiaris is the scientific name of a dog
Canis lupus is the scientific name of a wolf
(notice the close relationship between the dog and wolf-they are in the same Genus together)
