Could Linnaeus have explained the existence of Archaeopteryx?
Linnaeus is a naturalist from the 18th century and developed a bionic nomenclature. If anyone could help us, that would be great!

I wanted to ask how the photolysis of water is initiated, or by what. Until now I had assumed that this happens because of the resulting electron gap in the reactive center. So to say that the electron which is missing in the gap is simply taken out of the water and then splits up…
Both are quite similar (in terms of behavior, appearance).
hello, don't pay attention to my nasty make-up. I often hear that I have hazel eyes because they often look different in summer than in winter, for example, but I've just discovered this central heterochromia, I don't know, it could be, right?
I've read that with cattle manure, a floating layer forms in the pit, meaning the solid components are on top and the liquid components below. With pig manure, on the other hand, sinking layers form, meaning the liquid components are on top and the solid components below. Does anyone have agricultural knowledge and know why…
He would probably just have described him quite normal, like all the other species. Only with the note that there are no living specimens known to him.
Evolution didn’t know anything at that time. It is possible for some to have a little guessed, but there was no theory formulated and it was lacking in fossils and comparisons between similar species to be able to examine the theory. Somehow, the division into relationships by the binary nomenclature implies that the relationship is probably not purely random.
So Linné had the existence to explain the Archaeopteryx, but could not find out at that time, for example, that the Archaeopteryx is a half bird and a half reptile?
Existence means explaining why there is an animal or where it comes from evolutionary. I’m sure Linné wouldn’t. As I said, evolution was unknown or at most known as a non-formulated premonition. From the breeding of pets one knew that one can bring about changes by selection of breeding, which the animals then also inherit their descendants. What has failed was an approach to how to integrate this knowledge into the overall picture of nature. No one knew if there was something like change through selection of breeding in nature. One big problem was that one had no opportunity to observe model organisms with a fast mutation rate in the laboratory for x generations.
The natural sciences we know today were at the beginning. This was even more true for geology than for biology. One could not determine the age of rocks, no one had an idea of how old the earth really is. Those who called the numbers couldn’t justify them. The history of creation was far from being reproached. That’s why you couldn’t have dated Archaeopteryx Fossil. Because of the very good condition of conservation, it would have been estimated to be a lot too young. If you had really appreciated it a lot too young, it would probably have swallowed the view of evolution.
It was known in principle that animals can die. Man had already erased a few. Whether animals can die without human influence was unknown. Certainly there were people who suspected that animals also die from natural causes. But how to prove it? Skulls of extinct dwarf elephants found in Cyprus are healed for the proof that the mythical cyclops really existed. The number of Europeans who had ever seen an elephant skull was tiny, so the obvious similarity was not noticed.
It may also be that Archaeopteryx had been described as a dragon. An animal with wings, an elongate snout with teeth and a long, crisp tail, which fits perfectly with a dragon. Linné probably wouldn’t have stopped giving the dragon a name and his existence proved.
At Linnes times, the doctrine of the constancy of species was a recognized acceptance. Linne would have classified fossils as a mythical creature.

So Linné had the existence to explain the Archaeopteryx?
No.
