**Who were ancient taxonomists?
**
**ℹ️Taxonomists** are researchers/biologists who **analyze the relationship among organisms and aggregate them into groups**. 

Examples of earlier taxonomy are shown on [**ancient Egypt**](https://t.me/askmenow/3181)’s walls about medicinal plants by early Egyptian taxonomists ⬆️.

**Aristotle** (384-322 BC)⬆️, ancient Greek [polymath](https://t.me/askmenow/3182), was able to classify organisms for the first time and then grouped them into two major categories, i.e., __plants__ and __animals__. Several groups of animals proposed by him, such as __Anhaima__, __Enhaima__, [sharks](https://t.me/askmenow/2335), and __cetaceans__, are still used to this day. __Anhaima__ includes animals with no blood (now referred to as invertebrates), and __Enhaima__ - animals with blood (vertebrates).

**Theophrastus** (371-287 BC)⬆️ was Aristotle’s student and is often called the “**__Father of Botany__**”. He continued the classification process and mentioned 500 plants and their uses in his book, __Historia Plantarum__. Some plant groups, such as __Cornus__, __Crocus__, and __Narcissus__, can be traced back to his findings.
