Carl Linneaus acted like Adam in the garden of Eden and took on the job of naming all the plants and animals. However, he was born only 314 years ago. Today, he is remembered as the “father of taxonomy.” The word taxonomy comes from the ancient Greek word taxis meaning “arrangement” and nomia mean “method.” So, the word taxonomy means a method for the arrangement of names. Carl wrote his method for the arrangements of names in a book called Systema Naturae. The tenth edition of Systema created the binomial system of nomenclature used in zoology today. Carl Linneaus first named the Artemia Salina, aka Sea-Monkey, in 1758.
