Abstract (en):
Durante los últimos trescientos años, diferentes clasificaciones naturales han sido propuestas para las tortugas. En la primera, presentada en 1766, Linnaeus agrupó lasespecies hasta entonces conocidas en el género Testudo. Posteriormente, en 1805, Brongniart propuso una clasificación con base en el hábitat por lo cual reconocía tres géneros: Chelonia para las tortugas marinas; Emys para las de agua dulce y Testudo para las terrestres. Nuevas propuestas como las de Cuvier de 1817 y la de Wagler de 1830, aunque aún emplearon el hábitat como criterio jerárquico, se basaron en características anatómicas relacionadas con aquel, como por ejemplo la presencia de membranas interdigitales en las tortugas de río (Gaffney 1984)
