Carolus linnaeus

Carl Linnaeus C arl L innaeus (1707-1778) Carl Linnaeus, also known as Carl von Linné or Carolus Linnaeus, is often called the Father of Taxonomy. His system for naming, ranking, and classifying organisms is still in wide use today (with many changes). Hisideas on classification have influenced generations of biologists duringand after his own lifetime, even those opposed to the philosophicaland theological roots of his work. Biography of LinnaeusHe was born on May 23, 1707, at Stenbrohult, in the province ofSmåland in southern Sweden. His father,Nils Ingemarsson Linnaeus, was both an avid gardener and a Lutheran pastor,and Carl showed a deep love of plants and a fascination with their names from avery early age. Carl disappointed his parents by showing neither aptitude nordesire for the priesthood, but his family was somewhat consoled whenLinnaeus entered the University of Lund in 1727 to study medicine. A yearlater, he transferred to the University of Uppsala, the most prestigiousuniversity in Sweden. However, its medical facilities had been neglected andhad fallen into disrepair. Most of Linaeus's time at Uppsala was spentcollecting and studying Linnaeus went to the Netherlands in 1735, promptly finished his medical degree at theUniversity of Harderwijk, and then enrolled in the University of Leiden forfurther studies. That same year, he published the first edition of hisclassification of living things, the Systema Naturae. During theseyears, he met or corresponded with...

Linnaeus’ work on the classification of man forms one of the 18th-century roots of modern scientific racism. This page aims to look at Linnaeus’ works in detail, both printed and in manuscript, to trace the development of an idea which became fundamental in the history of anthropology and has had devastating and far-reaching consequences for humanity, including the dehumanisation of non-Europeans and justification of evils like slavery and indigenous genocide. The Linnean Society intends to confront the consequences of scientific racism; one of the first steps is to look at Linnaeus’ writings, in order to address the consequences of his views on human diversity through our education, outreach, and research activities. As fundamental as Linnaeus’ classification of man has been, surprisingly few studies have looked in-depth at the writings of Linnaeus to go beyond his main work on the subject: the 10 th edition of Systema naturae. Gunnar Broberg’s 1975 book on Linnaeus’ Homo sapiens, was one such study, but published in Swedish and never translated into English; Staffan Müller-Wille has in the last few years published articles which endeavour to address the role Linnaeus’ works played as the foundation for the modern concept of race. This page is particularly indebted to the latter’s work. Linnaeus was the first naturalist to include man within the animal kingdom. In 1735, the class into which Linnaeus inserted man was called Quadrupeds, and the order, Anthropomorpha. These ...

From 1732 to 1735, Linnaeus travelled throughout Sweden, particularly in Lapland and northwest Sweden, in order to record and collect information on the country’s natural resources. He encouraged his students to use this system as well. Linnaeus, who continued to lecture at Uppsala between field studies, was still a student until finally in 1735 he travelled to the University of Harderwijk in Holland where he very quickly took his medical degree. He spent most of the next three years in Holland with some travelling to Germany, France and England. He was the supervisor of the wealthy banker George Clifford’s zoo and gardens while he was in Holland and it was also during this time that Linnaeus was able to publish the first of his many of his scientific papers and books. Linnaeus returned to Sweden where first, he practiced medicine in Stockholm. Then, after marrying Sara Lisa Moraea, he became a professor of botany at Uppsala University in 1741. Linnaeus was both popular and influential as a professor and scientist. A charismatic teacher, he surrounded himself with students, the most gifted of whom he sent on voyages of exploration. His 'apostles', as he called them, crossed the continents in order to bring back new plants and animals, which Linnaeus would name according to his new binomial system of nomenclature. Some of them died en route. In 1747, Linnaeus was appointed chief royal physician and he was knighted in 1758, taking the name Carl von Linné (which is why we are...
