- Traditionally, living things have been classified into groups depending on their structure and characteristics.
- This system was developed by Carl Linnaeus.
- Linnaeus classified living things into kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.
- Organisms are named by the two-part binomial system of genus plus species.
- Scientists write binomial names in italics with a capital letter for the genus, e.g. for the organism Homo sapiens, Homo is the genus and sapiens is the species.
