Solution
There are various scientists who have contributed to biological classification and based on their observations we have the current system of classification:
• Aristotle (384-322 BC): Also known as the father of classification, he classified animals on the basis of two points: presence or absence of red blood cells, whether they live on land, air, or water.
• Carolous Linneaus (1707-1778): Also known as the father of taxonomy, he classified living things into two kingdoms- Plantae and Animalia.
• Ernst Haeckel (1834-1919): He proposed the thee kingdom classification- Plantae, Animalia, and Protista.
• Robert Whitakker (1920-1980): He gave the five-kingdom classification- Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae and Animalia.
• Carl Woose (1928-2012): He gave the classification where he classified all the organisms into three categories- Eukarya domain, Bacteria domain and Archae domain.
