Why a method of classification of animals proposed by Aristotle was not accepted ? Explain with example.
Aristotle classified animals on the basis of habitat. For example, corals, whales, octopuses, star fish and sharks lived in sea were placed in one group even when they are very different from each other Except habitat, they do not share other similarities.
