2.1 Taxonomy pg. 98 - 101 Definition: science of classifying organisms (both living & extinct) Purpose of Taxonomy Why do we classify living organisms? 1. to identify organisms 2. to represent evolutionary relationships among them
3
Taxonomic System developed by Carl Linnaeus (1707-1778) in Latin based his classification on structural and physical features the more features organisms have in common, the closer their relationship

Binomial Nomenclature (common worldwide language) the scientific name of a species is formed by the combination of 1.Genus (always capitalized) (can be written alone) Example: Ursus = all bears 2. species (lowercase) (can never be written alone) Example: Ursus americanus = North American Black Bears note: both are italicized two terms :
