Classification has two meanings in English: the process by which things are grouped into classes by shared characters and the arrangement of those classes.

At all times, one of the key tasks of biology as a science was to establish the life form classification – systematics, taxonomy. Icthyological Survey Techniques. Cuvier's The Animal Kingdom, Arranged According to its Organization, Serving as a Foundation for the Natural History of Animals, was an attempt to classify the animal kingdom on the basis of comparative anatomy, of which Cuvier's entire classification schema was Using these principles, Cuvier established a taxonomic approach based on comparative anatomy that established correlations between the inner systems that maintained life within an organism. He studied botany and medicine and Of his higher groupings, only those for animals are still in use, and the groupings themselves have been significantly changed since their conception, as have the principles behind them. His works, Tempo and Mode in Evolution (1944) and Principles of Classification and a Classification of Mammals (1945), were particularly instrumental in this respect. While he continued throughout his lifetime to revise and expand this great work, so his successors have continued to revise the principles of taxonomy, now according to genetic principles, informed by the analysis of DNA. Plant, animal and mineral systematics principles were stated by Karl Linney back in the 18th century. The system that we still use today for giving scientific names to plants and animals has many founders, from the Greek philosopher Aristotle to the Swedish physician and botanist Carolus Linnaeus.
