The document provides information about taxonomy, including:
1) Taxonomy is the branch of biology concerned with grouping and naming organisms. It began as people wanted to organize the living things they observed.
2) Carolus Linnaeus developed the modern system of binomial nomenclature, assigning every species a two-part scientific name based on genus and species to standardize naming across languages.
3) The hierarchical classification system ranks taxa from broad kingdoms to specific species based on observable similarities, allowing scientists to communicate unambiguously about organisms.
