Answer:

Some of Carl Linnaeus' classifications of organisms were incorrect because he classified them based off of appearances and actions instead of actual relationships. For instance, bats were classified as birds because they flew, and whales were classified as fish because they had fins and swam underwater.The mere fact that some of his classifications were off, however, does not reduce the marked effect that it had on the advancement of scientific thought in the present world. His findings have greatly influenced the modern classification system in many ways.

Explanation:

Carl Linnaeus classified organisms on the basis of physical features. In his time, this was accepted. As time went on, he was stated incorrectly with the aid of new discoveries. However, he did facilitate the scientific community in a different way. He classified organisms with their common ancestors.

- hope this helps ✌
