Question

Which of the following was a major problem scientists found with Aristotle’s scala naturae?
A. It didn’t accommodate distance. Scientists who lived far away from each other weren’t able to communicate with each other and ended up naming the same species of animal differently.
B. It didn’t provide for enough detail. It worked well to classify between different genera, but didn’t distinguish very well between individual species within each genus.

Answer 1

Its complex nature made it very difficult to use. It wasn’t user friendly at all. Scientists had to be trained to use it, so a limited number of scientists were actually able to classify species.
D. It was too expensive to use. The tremendous costs involved in identifying species Artistotle’s way was not reasonable, so his classification system was rarely even used.
