Both Aristotle and Linnaeus classified animals and plants, considering where the species lived. However, Linnaeus delved further into classifying organisms looking at their morphology, with an ordered subset of the organism's class divided into five kingdoms: class, order, species, genus, and variety. The process of this classification is called Taxonomy, however, modern scholars also consider the evolutionary history of a species, in the classification process.
