		Carl Linnaeus was born at Stenbrohult, in the province of Smalandia in southern Sweden.
		Linnaeus named taxa in ways that personally struck him as common-sensical; for example, human beings are Homo sapiens (see sapience), but he also described a second human species, Homo troglodytes ("cave-dwelling man", by which he meant the chimpanzee currently most often placed in a different genus as Pan troglodytes).
		Linnaeus was one of the founders of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.

	Carl Linnaeus
		Linnaeus was in regular contact with Europe's great botanists, and continued refining and expanding his classification categories.
		Linnaeus also simplified naming, which previously had included long descriptive terminology, by designating a single Latin name to indicate the genus, and a single name for the species.
		Since Linnaeus was the first to use shortened binomial nomencalture consistently, Latin names previously assigned by other naturalists are not usually considered valid under the rules of nomenclature.

	Rocky Road: Linnaeus
		Linnaeus remarked, "The names bestowed on plants by the ancient Greeks and Romans I commend, but I shudder at the sight of most of those given by modern authorities." He had good reason to shudder; one "formal" name for the tomato was Solanum caule inerme herbaceo, foliis pinnatis incisis, racemis simplicibus.
		Linnaeus was an interesting man. Though he wrote a number of useful books on plant classification that would make botany possible "Yes, even for Women themselves," he kept his own daughters semi-literate, wanting them to be good housekeepers rather than uppity bluestockings.
		And though the image-conscious Linnaeus later credited a sudden flash of insight, binomial nomenclature was the result of long painstaking work by Linnaeus and — especially — his young, poor students, whom he often employed as industrial spies.

	Linnaeus (a)
		Linnaeus took the comparison a long way, to the extent indeed of seeing the common marigold (Calendula officinalis) as a plant practising “necessary polygamy” with “the married females barren, the concubines fertile”; in other words, the ray florets of the flower head produced seeds but the disc florets did not.
		Carl Linnaeus was, however, determined on a medical career and in August 1727 he entered the University of Lund.
		Linnaeus, anticipating the methods of later student fund-raisers, drew up a memorandum emphasising both the desirability of a naturalist visiting Lapland and the attributes requisite in such a person, from which it would appear that the most suitable one for the task would be no other than Linnaeus himself.
