Carl Linnaeus (1707-1778)

Carolus "Carl" Linnaeus

He is revered as the father of modern taxonomy (the way we classify all living things) and was "by far," according to the event's official website, "the most internationally well-known Swede who has ever lived." (Sorry, ABBA.)

Born on a farm in southern Sweden (the founder of IKEA hails from the same district) on May 23, 1707, Linnaeus was a key inspiration for Charles Darwin and popularized the use of binomial nomenclature, the system of giving every plant and animal a two-part Latin name.

For his seminal work, Systema Naturae, he painstakingly classified more than 15,000 species, which suggests that he was a bit tedious.

In fact, Linnaeus was considered quite radical and not because he insisted that hydras, satyrs and other mythical creatures truly existed.
