Chapter 9 ClassificationChapter 9 Classification
• The Greek Philosopher Aristotle began classifying organisms more than 2000 years ago
• In the 1600’s, English scientist, John Ray, established the species as the basic unit of classification.
• Our modern system of classification was introduced by Swedish scientist Carolus Linnaeus. He published a book on plant classification in 1753 and a book on animal classification in 1758.

Chapter 9 IntroductionChapter 9 Introduction
• According to Linnaeus– Organisms were classified according to their structure– Plants and animals were arranged into genus and
species, and the categories of class and order were introduced.
– Species were given distinctive two-word names. Linnaeus’ system is still in use today, although with many changes
– Carolus Linnaeus is the Latin translation of the Swedish scientist’s given name, Carl Von Linne

Chapter 9 Section 1Chapter 9 Section 1
• Classification is about Sorting it all out.• Classification stems from a need to organize
things around us.• It may be nice to know what plants you can eat
and which are poisonous. You may want to know which animals you can eat and which will eat you.
• Classification is the arrangement of organisms into orderly groups based on their similarities.

Section 1 ContinuedSection 1 Continued
• Why Classify• There are millions of different living things in our
world.• Making sense of the sheer numbers and
diversity of living things required classification.• Classification makes it easier for biologist to find
answers to many important questions, such as;• How many know species are there?• What are the characteristics of each?• What are the relationships between species?

Section 1 continuedSection 1 continued
• 7 Levels of classification used by biologist
• Kids Prefer Cheese Over Fried Green Spinach
• King Philip Came Over For Grape Soda
• Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species.
• Can you name the 7 levels of classification?

Section 1 ContinuedSection 1 Continued
• What is the basis for Classification?• Taxonomy: The science of identifying,
classifying, and naming living things.• Initially, taxonomy attempted to classify
organisms only by their shared characteristics.• Later scientist began to realize that evolutionary
changes form a line of descent from a common ancestor. Taxonomy changed to include these new ideas about evolutionary relationships.

Section 1 continuedSection 1 continued
• Modern Classification.• Taxonomists today classify organisms based on
presumed evolutionary relationships.• Species with a recent common ancestor can be
classified together.• See figure 4 in the text.• Because of their common ancestor, an ancient
mammal, all four animals are based in the same class…Mammalia

Section 1 continuedSection 1 continued
• The bear, lion and house cat, are more closely related to each other than to the platypus. They are all mammals, but only the platypus lays eggs.
• Brown bears, lions and house cats, share a different common ancestor, an ancient carnivore. Thus, they are classified in the same order, Carnivora.

• You can take it even further and compare the lion and the house cat. See page 203 of text.
• Next session we will discuss Naming names and Dichotomous Keys.

Section 1 ContinuedSection 1 Continued
• Naming Names• By classifying organisms biologists are also able to give
them specific names.• A scientific name for an organism is always the same no
matter how many common names it may have.• The scientific name for the Indian Elephant is a two word
Latin name, Elephas maximus. All scientist know that Elephas maximus is the Indian elephant, and no other species uses this Latin two word name.
• Elephas in this case is the Genus, and maximus is the species.

• Why are scientific names so important?
• Anyone care to hypothesize?
• Does our discussion bring back any previous knowledge?
• Remember the Scientific Method and why certain standards are used, all through the scientific community.

• Dichotomous Keys• Defined it is an aid in identifying unknown
organisms• The dichotomous key consist of several
pairs of descriptive statements that have only two alternative responses.
• By working through the statements the taxonomist can eventually identify the organism.
