[Note: only the first 5 words of your question are being displayed, but I'll try anyhow]
I'm guessing you're asking about the system of classifying living things, which was originally developed by Carl Linnaeus, a Swedish botanist, physician and zoologist of the 1700s. His prime contribution was to establish conventions for the naming of living organisms that became universally accepted in the scientific world (binomial names, scientific names): the work of Linnaeus represents the starting point of binomial nomenclature. In addition Linnaeus developed, during the great 18th century expansion of natural history knowledge, what became known as the Linnaean taxonomy; the system of scientific classification now widely used in the biological sciences.
