The video discusses the challenge of classifying over 2 million types of living things on Earth. It introduces the concept of classification, tracing its origins to Aristotle, who categorized animals based on their environment. As more species were discovered, classification methods evolved, leading to the modern system developed by Carl Linnaeus in the 18th century. Linnaeus' system, which organizes organisms based on body structure similarities, laid the foundation for the classification system used today.
