The binomial naming convention, later formalized in the biological codes of nomenclature, was first used by [[Leonhart Fuchs]] and introduced as the standard by [[Carolus Linnaeus]] in the 1700s and as a result is sometimes called the "binomial nomenclature". At this time, the chief biological theory was that species represented independent acts of creation by God, and were therefore considered objectively real and immutable.

The classification system that must people use is multi-leveled. It starts by splitting all organisms up into five different groups known as ''kingdoms''. The organisms within each kingdom can then be further divided into different groups called ''phyla'' (fie' luh), the singular of which is ''phylum'' (fie' lum) . Each phylum can be further divided into ''classes'', which can be further divided into ''orders'' . Within an order, organisms can be divided into families , which can be further divided into genera (jon' ruh), the singular of which is ''genus'' (jee' nus) , which can finally be broken down into species. The names of these kingdoms are Monera (muh nihr' uh) , Protista (pruh tist' uh) , Fungi (fun' jye) , Plantae, and Animalia . The proper names of all our classification groups are Latin, and when we use those names, we capitalize them to emphasize that these are proper classification names.
A good mnemonic to remember this is: ''K''ing ''P''hilip ''C''ried ''O''ut ''F''or ''G''oodness ''S''ake.
