Carl Linnaeus.
The person than I
admire is Carl Linnaeus, this man is so important in the history of botany on
international level.
Carl Linnaeus was born
in 23 May of 1707 in the countryside of Smaland Råshult, in south side Sweden
and he died in 10 January of 1778 in Uppsala . Carl study in Uppsala
University, where learned about of Botany. Also he lived abroad where he reach
published a first edition of “Systema Naturae” in the Netherlands. Linnaeus was botanist, physician and zoologist,
with that his fame swell exponentially.
Linnaeus is known as “the father of modern taxonomy” product of his work with “Systema Naturae”
and the modern system of naming organisms called “Binominal Nomenclature”, that
mean for example: scientific name of Araucaria is “Araucaria araucana”, first
is genus after the species. As well he agruped the genus in family, and this in
class, and the class in kingdom.
The Linnaeus’s work
liked me, because make a great advance in the biology, and the system of naming
organisms persist until ours days, as well as is more easy compare two
organisms with the scientific name.
