‘swedish pronunciation’ –> [¹kɑːɭ fɔn lɪ¹neː]

.

(‘carl linnaeus’ was a swedish (‘botanist’ / ‘zoologist’ / ‘physician’) who formaliszd ‘binomial nomenclature’…)

.

*the modern system of naming ‘organisms’*

.

*he is known as the ‘father’ of ‘modern taxonomy’*

.

(many of his writings were in ‘latin’)

(and so his name is rendered in ‘latin’ as carolus linnæus)

((after 1761 carolus a linné))

.

(‘linnaeus’ was born in the countryside of ‘småland’ in ‘southern sweden’)

(he received most of his ‘higher education’ at ‘uppsala university’ + began giving lectures in ‘botany’ there in ‘1730’)

(he lived ‘abroad’ between ‘1735’ – ‘1738’, where he ‘studied’ + also published the 1st edition of his systema naturae in ‘the netherlands’).

(he then returned to ‘sweden’ where he became professor of ‘medicine’ + ‘botany’ at ‘uppsala’)

(in the ‘1740s’, he was sent on several ‘journeys’ through ‘sweden’ to ‘find’ + classify ‘plants’ + ‘animals’)

.

(in the ‘1750s’ + ‘1760s’, he continued to ‘collect’ + ‘classify’…)

‘animals’

‘plants’

‘minerals’

(while publishing several volumes)

.

(he was 1 of the most acclaimed scientists in ‘europe’ at the time of his death)

.

“tell him i know no greater man on earth”

‘jean-jacques rousseau’

.

“with the exception of ‘shakespeare’ + ‘spinoza”, i know no one among the ‘no longer living’ who has influenced me more strongly”

‘johann wolfgang von goethe’

.

(swedish author ‘august strindberg’ wrote…)

“linnaeus was in reality a ‘poet’ who happened to become a ‘naturalist'”

(‘linnaeus’ has been called princeps botanicorum (‘prince of botanists’) + the ‘pliny of the north’)

.

*he is also considered as one of the founders of ‘modern ecology’*

.

(in ‘botany’ + ‘zoology’, the abbreviation L. is used to indicate ‘linnaeus’ as the ‘authority’ for a species’ name)

(in older publications, the abbreviation ‘linn’ is found)

(linnaeus’s remains comprise the ‘type specimen’ for the species homo sapiens following the ‘international code’ of ‘zoological nomenclature’)

.

(…(since the sole ‘specimen’ that he is known to have examined was himself)
