Carl Linnaeus, a Swedish botanist, revolutionized the way we understand nature by developing a groundbreaking system of classification and nomenclature. Born in 1707, Linnaeus was fascinated by plants and animals from a young age and spent his life studying and categorizing them. He created the "sexual system" of plant classification and the binomial nomenclature system, which assigns a two-part name to each species. This system, introduced over 250 years ago, is still used today and has had a profound impact on modern biology. Linnaeus' work inspired a generation of naturalists, including Charles Darwin, and his legacy extends far beyond his lifetime, fueling a global movement of exploration and understanding of the natural world.
