Linnaeus's greatest achievement is to systematize all previous knowledge about animals and plants, and to abandon artificial chronological classification and choose natural classification. He creatively put forward binomial nomenclature, including more than 8800 species, which can be said to be "all-encompassing" and is called the taxonomy of everything. This great achievement made Linnai one of the most outstanding scientists in the18th century.
Linnaeus classification system
During his stay at Uppsala University, Linnaeus discovered that the pollen sac and pistil of flowers can be used as the basis for plant classification. He wrote this discovery into a short article. This discovery provided him with a very professional position.
1732, Uppsala Academy sponsored him to visit Lapland in northern Sweden. At that time, Europeans knew nothing about Lapland. In this 4600-mile land, Linnai discovered more than 100 new plant varieties.
1737, Linnaeus published a book about his investigation of the plant world in Lapland. In this book, Linnaeus first published the classification method of plant reproductive organs.
1753, Linnaeus published "Botana's Species", and named the creatures in Latin by binomial method. The first name is the name of a genus (italics), and the second is the name of a species (italics), which is a noun and an adjective.
For example, describing the characteristics of some species, or adding the name of the discoverer (positive body) to commemorate the discoverer, also means responsibility. Linnaeus named plants in this way, and later he named animals in the same way, which has continued to this day. For example: Homo sapiens (abbreviated name).
