Augustin de Candolle introduced the word taxonomy in 1813 within his book Théorie élémentaire de la botanique. Before this date, scientists used terms like systematic biology or biological classification without a single agreed-upon label for their work.
Carl Linnaeus published Systema Naturae in 1735 and Species Plantarum in 1753 to establish valid plant names. His tenth edition of Systema Naturae appeared in 1758 to serve as the starting point for valid animal names.
Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species in 1859 to introduce an explanation for biological classifications based on evolutionary relationships. This concept became the essential hallmark of evolutionary taxonomic thinking during the late nineteenth century.
Cain and Harrison introduced the word cladistic in 1960 while Julian Huxley had used the term clade in 1958. The cladistic method emerged since the 1960s to reshape how scientists arrange taxa into hierarchical evolutionary trees.
Ernst Mayr defined beta taxonomy in 1968 to describe sorting species into groups of relatives arranged hierarchically. Alpha taxonomy primarily refers to finding, describing, and naming taxa particularly species and was discussed by William Bertram Turrill in papers published during 1935 and 1937.
