Swedish Naturalist Carolus Linnaeus devised a system of grouping organisms into hierarchical categories according to their form and structure. Aristotle classified organisms into only two taxa - either plants or animals.

The system that we still use today for giving scientific names to plants and animals has many founders, from the Greek philosopher Aristotle to the Swedish physician and botanist Carolus Linnaeus. It was Aristotle who first introduced the two key concepts of taxonomy as we practice it today: classification of organisms by type and binomial definition.
There are quite a few places named after Aristotle including the Aristotle (municipality), in Chalkidiki, Greece, Aristotle Lane Oxford England, Aristotle Mountains Antarctica, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki Greece, and Platia Aristotle (Aristotle Square), Thessaloniki Greece.

Linnaeus had a more complex system, and Aristotle did not, as generations went bye, the classification of organisms grew more complex and Linnaeus created a system that would fit in with any new organism, on the other hand Aristotle had a less "complex" system.
Aristotle started the whole taxonomy business, but Linnaeus took it a step further.
the three important things Linnaeus made in Aristotle system was that he spilt them up by what they eat where they live and what their nutrients they need.

1. Linnaeus made it much more specific. 2. Linnaeus based it on evidence and characteristics. 3. Linnaeus used a hierarchial classification system.

Aristotle classified animals according to their location, and plants according to their stems. Linnaeus, on the other hand, classified organisms according to their form and structure using a seven-level hierarchial system. However, Linnaeus' system was more accurate, being that Aristotle's system of classification was too general and organisms could be placed into more than one category.
The first classification system was developed by Aristotle in ancient Greece around 350 BCE. His work laid the foundation for future classification systems, including the modern scientific classification system developed by Carl Linnaeus in the 18th century.
Linnaeus also had plants and animals separated. But Linnaeus looked for similar traits to put animals and plants in families.
