    The Linnaean system of classification was created by Carl Linnaeus and uses a hierarchical structure including domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. It is important because it provides a standardized way to organize the millions of species into manageable groups to study and learn about different organisms. A key aspect is the two-part naming of each species, such as Homo sapiens for humans. This system is still used today.

    Linnaean classification

    The Linnaean system of classification was


    created by a Swedish scientist called Carl
    Linnaeus.

    Ref: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/68/Carl_von_Linn%C3%A9.jpg

    Each stage may include more that one division.


    The Linnaean system of classification depends
    on the following hierarchy.

    Chordata,
    Mollusca and
    Porifera are all
    different
    divisions of
    phyla.

    Ref:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Biological_classification_L_
    Pengo.svg

    The most important part of his system was


    the use of two-part naming to identify
    different species.

    e.g. Homo sapiens

    Genus name

    Species name

    Human classification

    Domain: Eukarya
    Kingdom: Animalia
    Phylum: Chordata
    Subphylum: Vertebrata
    Class: Mammalia
    Cohort: Placentalia
    Order: Primates
    Suborder: Anthropoidea

    Infraorder: Catarrhini

    Superfamily: Hominoidae
    Family: Hominidae
    Genus: Homo
    Species: Homo sapiens

    Ornithorhynchus anatinus

    Platypus

    Ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Ornithorhynchidae-00.jpg

    Platypus classification

    Kingdom: Animalia
    Phylum: Chordata
    Class: Mammalia

    Subclass: Prototheria

    Order: Monotremata
    Family: Ornithorhynchidae
    Genus: Ornithorhynchus
    Species: Ornithorhynchus anatinus

    Importance of classification

    Millions of animal, plant and microscopic


    species worldwide.

    Classification allows us to organise all living


    things into more manageable groups.

    Makes it easier to do further studies on and


    learn about different species.
