• There are billions of known species of organisms. •New organisms are still
being found and identified.

• CLASSIFICATION: is the organization of living things into groups based on their similarities so that it is easier to study them.
• TAXONOMY: The scientific study of how living things are classified is called Taxonomy.
• TAXONOMISTS: Scientists that identify and name organisms.

Latin names are understood by all Taxonomists

Carolus Linnaeus(1707- 1778)
• Called the Father of Taxonomy• Developed the modern naming system• BINOMIAL NOMENCLATURE : Two word name
(Genus and species) • Latin or Greek • Italicized in print • Capitalize Genus but not species

• The International Code for Binomial Nomenclature contains the rules for naming organisms.
• All names must be approved by International Naming Congresses to prevent duplicates.

Using the classification system
• TAXONOMIC KEY: is a series of paired statements that describe the physical characteristics of different organisms.
