摘要：Carl Linné, more widely known as Carolus Linnaeus, died in 1778 but his spirit lives on in the many classification systems he developed, as well as in a more recent Swedish innovation, the Linnaeus Database, a major contributor to an understanding of ageing from a life course perspective. Linnaeus is widely regarded as the founder of modern taxonomy, responsible (in 1735) for introducing the concept of hierarchical ordering of botanical and zoological classification.
