Early developments in western world: up to 1700s: driven by calling to serve god. Christia(cid:374)s fo(cid:272)used o(cid:374) noah"s ark: earth, climate, species are assumed static. Assumed that earth was a static place. Where major continents are in where its always been. Climate has never changed; every species has always been there. Each taxonomic group have shared set of characteristics that differentiate form other groups. Hierarchical classification system but not all member identify species by name: what other individual species were related to it and what species were not related to it.
