Classification Standardized Test Prep 8. Describe the origins of the modern Linnaean system of taxonomy.
Classification Standardized Test Prep 8. Describe the origins of the modern Linnaean system of taxonomy. Sample answer: The modern Linnaean system had its origin in the work of Carl Linnaeus in the 1700 s. He tried to catalog many organisms, and proposed a consistent system for naming and grouping them. His system is still used, although the levels of grouping have been modified over time.
Classification Standardized Test Prep 9. Write an essay that summarizes the historical development of scientific naming and classification systems. Include the reasons why such systems were invented, and describe the ways that modern systematics differs from earlier systems.
Classification Standardized Test Prep 9. Write an essay that summarizes the historical development of scientific naming and classification systems. Include the reasons why such systems were invented, and describe the ways that modern systematics differs from earlier systems. Essays should include how Linnaeus cataloged the known species and recognized a need for unique names to avoid confusion among scientists. As awareness of the diversity of life grew, Linnaeus’ system had shortcomings. New technologies enable closer examination of organisms resulting in new hypotheses about their evolutionary relationships.
