By the 17th century, europeans were using aristotle principles. Aristotle classified the animals as blooded animals, bloodless animals and quadrupeds. In the middle ages,scholars used the aristotle classfications by making some changes. John ray says that distinction between bloodless and blooded animals is the blood and also the birth of the animals from the eggs. Carolus linneaus was the father of classification of animals, plants. Systema naturae was the starting point of modern zoology. His system is based on sexual characteristics of plants. He called the mammals mammlas because he want the word to be short, which can be easily spelled. Women of the upper class donot breast feed.
