Description
Early naturalists placed all vultures under one single biological group.
Carl Linnaeus had assigned both Old World vultures and New World vultures in a Vulture genus, even including the Harpy eagle.
Soon anatomists split Old and New World vultures, with New World vultures being placed in a new suborder, Cathartae, later renamed Cathartidae as per the Rules of Nomenclature (from Greek: carthartes, meaning “purifier”).
The suborder was later recognised as a family, rather than a suborder.
