	Carl Linnaeus
		Carl Linnaeus, also known as Carl von Linné or Carolus Linnaeus, is often called the Father of Taxonomy.
		His father, Nils Ingemarsson Linnaeus, was both an avid gardener and a Lutheran pastor, and Carl showed a deep love of plants and a fascination with their names from a very early age.
		Linnaeus continued to revise his Systema Naturae, which grew from a slim pamphlet to a multivolume work, as his concepts were modified and as more and more plant and animal specimens were sent to him from every corner of the globe.

	Carolus Linnaeus - MSN Encarta
		Linnaeus was born into a religious family in a small town in rural Småland.
		Linnaeus discovered problems in the systematic arrangement for botany and began to sketch his own classification method as early as 1730.
		Linnaeus also created a taxonomic scheme that relied only upon these sexual parts, using the stamen to determine the class and the pistil to determine the order.

	Carolus Linnaeus Summary
		Linnaeus realized that new plants were being discovered faster than their morphological relationships could be established, and he decided to abandon for a while the attempt to achieve a natural classification.
		Linnaeus organized ecology around the balance of nature concept, which he named the "economy of nature." He emphasized the interrelationships in nature and was one of the first naturalists to describe food chains.
		Linnaeus was one of the founders of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.

		Carolus Linnaeus (nadat hij in de adelstand was verheven Carl von LinnÃ©) (RÃ¥shult bij Stenbrohult, Zuid-Zweden, 23 mei 1707 - Uppsala, 10 januari 1778) was een Zweedse arts ofwel plantkundige (dit was toentertijd hetzelfde) en bioloog, die de binomiale nomenclatuur voor levende wezens invoerde.
		Linnaeus had hierin echter weinig interesse, en uiteindelijk wist een leraar zijn vader te overreden erin toe te stemmen dat Linnaeus in plaats daarvan medicijnen ging studeren.
		Linnaeus beschreef niet alleen planten maar ook mineralen en dieren.

		A Swede, Carl von Linné was known as "Linnaeus" because he (like other 17th century scientists) wrote all of his major publications in Latin.
		However, Linnaeus himself abandoned the strictly linear view of biological relationships that was then so popular in favor of his own more diffuse, hierarchical arrangement.
		Linnaeus advocated an admittedly "artifical system" of plant classification that emphasized the number of reproductive organs to the near-exclusion of all other characters; this was opposed by contemporary botanists like A.

	Carolus Linnaeus
		Before Linnaeus, the last person to really make a concertrated effort at naming and classifying living things was Aristotle (384 to 322 BCE), and his system had prevailed for almost 2,000 years.
		Linnaeus developed the binomial or "two name" system (often referred to as the "Linnaean System") of naming organisms with genus and species names.
		Linnaeus is often called the "father of taxonomy", taxonomy is the branch of biology that is concerned with naming and classifying the diverse forms of life.
