Carl von Linné on Classification - Dictionary of Arguments
Mayr I 187 Upward Classification/Mayr: Linné himself applied upward classification from 1770 onwards: it is more suitable; classes are differentiated and then grouped together in superordinate groups. Unfortunately, there is no strict methodology in Linné. There was no theoretical basis for the ranking. >Order, >Systems, >Species. Mayr I 192 Linné: a typical hierarchy is characterized by the fact that there are no transition types. Great discontinuity. In Linné there are large gaps between the taxa. Darwin: forces gaps between original and derived taxa. >Taxonomy. I 200 Linné: binary nomenclature. Genus name and typal surname. Each species has a single "type"(copy). VsLinné: such a "type" is not very typical for a species! >Stereotypes, >Prototypes. Species description/new: not exclusively based on type (Linné). Variability is also taken into account I 295 Linné assigns chimpanzees to the genus homo. >Species/Linné._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
