The system of classification that we use today, known as binomial nomenclature, was developed by Carolus Linnaeus in the 18th century. He created the system of naming species using a two-part Latin name (e.g. Homo sapiens) and also developed the hierarchical classification system based on shared characteristics. Aristotle and Stephen Jay Gould made significant contributions to the field of biology, but did not create the system of classification used today.
