At the end of his life Linnaeus did not believe that he had actually identified the Biblical "kinds." While he felt that he had made progress, his concept of "species" did not equal the "kinds." However, his system of naming and grouping earned him a lasting place in the history of science. Linnaeus relied on observation of physical forms. Today [[DNA]] sequencing is bringing new information about similarities among [[plant]]s and animals that he would have enjoyed.<ref>"The Legacy of Linnaeus" ''Nature'' 446, 7133, March 15, 2007, p. 231.</ref> The definition of what a species really is remains a problem in [[taxonomy]]<ref>"The Species and the Specious" ''Nature'' 446. 7133, March 15, 2007, p. 250-255.</ref>
