Detailed explanation-1: -The Greek scientist, Aristotle (384-322 B.C.), was one of the first scientists to organise living things. Aristotle developed the first classification system, which divided all known organisms into two groups: Plants and Animals. His classification was based on the locomotion ability of organisms.
Detailed explanation-2: -Aristotle classified living organisms based on their ability to move from one place to another or locomote. This gave rise to two groups, plants which are non-motile and animals which are motile.
Detailed explanation-3: -Today is the 290th anniversary of the birth of Carolus Linnaeus, the Swedish botanical taxonomist who was the first person to formulate and adhere to a uniform system for defining and naming the world’s plants and animals.
