Carl Linnaeus Swedish botanist , physician and zoologist : - Carl Linnaeus (Swedish: Carl Linnaeus; Latin: Carolus Linnaeus, Carolus Linnaeus ) And the zoologist who laid the foundations for modern binomial nomenclature. He is called the father of modern taxonomy. He is also one of the fathers of modern ecology. Carl von Linné Portrait of Linus by Alexander Roslin. Currently at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. The French philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau sent him a message saying: "Tell him I do not know of any greater man in the world." The German philosopher Johann Wolfgang von Goethe wrote: Linus' influence on me was the greatest. "" Swedish writer August Strindberg wrote: "Linnaeus was actually a poet , somehow becoming a naturalist." Biography Linnaeus was born in a village in Samaland, southern Sweden. None of his ancestors used the last name. They were named after the Scandinavian patronymic rules. His father first introduced the last name. Linnaeus chose the name after a huge linden tree in front of the house. Carolus Linnaeus was born in 1808 in the village of Rachel in the province of Smelen in Sweden. Father Nils Linnaeus is pastor of the church. His parents wanted him to be a priest , but he became a doctor . He got acquainted with minerals and plants by writing. Linnaeus spent most of his education at Uppsala University. He joined this university in 1830 as a lecturer. He was abroad from 1835 to 1838, at which time the first edition of his Systema Naturae was published in the Netherlands. He then returned to Sweden and joined Uppsala as Professor of Botany. In the 1840's, he was sent to various parts of Sweden to classify various plants and animals. He continued this classification in the 1850s and 60s and published volume books. The abbreviated form of the name is placed at the end of the binomial name of many animals or plants. The letters " L" end in the names that Linnaeus named . At the time of his death he was known as one of the best scientists in all of Europe. He died in 18. The name Homo sapiens has been added to the tombstone next to Linnaeus' last wish. Double-named Swedish Carolus Linnaeus was the first to classify the fauna into flora and fauna. In this sense, he was the first proponent of disciplining the animal kingdom. The scientific names of the different species were much longer before the naming he introduced. Linnaeus people named the species Homo sapiens. Linnaeus used it differently — Homo sapiens is — Homo 'Nose Te Ipsam' meaning Man No Dyself: Atmanang Bidhvi , Man Knows Himself. This term has a deeper meaning. People used to be Homo erectus , Homo habilis , Homo Neanderthalensis etc. They have disappeared. In addition to naming 7,600 species of plants and 4,400 species of animals, he authored books on Species Plantram (1853) , Genera Plantram (1854) and Sistema Nature (1856). The first two are plants and the third is animal classification and nomenclature and is internationally recognized. Although Linnaeus's sexual taxonomy has been replaced by modern evolution-influenced new taxonomy, his naming rules and non-verbal descriptive methods are still in use today.
