 | | Prior to Linnaeus, biologists had established random categories of classification, such as the category of genus for a group of species. |
 | | In addition, Linnaeus devised logical rules to classify species that continued to be used by scientists for over 200 years. |
 | | Modern taxonomic classification, based on the natural concepts and system of the Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus, has progressed steadily since the 18th century, modified by advances in knowledge of morphology, evolution, and genetics. |
