I've never encountered anyone who didn't believe in Linnaean taxonomy!

This is fascinating. Do you also not believe that humans are primates?

Mammals?

Vertebrates?

You’ve just declared Linnaeus to be infallible and ineffable.

When I was younger, taxonomists classified the giant panda as a raccoon, along with the red panda (in the Procyonidae family). Nowadays it is in Ursidae (the bears), or at least according to most scientists; the red panda has its own family (Ailuridae).
