taxonomía

taxonomía

The classification of life, starting with Aristotle's attempts. Botanist Carl Linneaus worked out a system in 1735 whose primary categories are still in use. From largest to smallest, here is how we fit them:

Kingdom: Animalia (animals)

Phylum: Chordata (with nerve chords)

Subphylum: Vertebrata (and backbones)

Superclass: Gnathostomata (and jaws for biting)

Class: Mammalia (the young feed on mother's milk)

Order: Primata (primates

Suborder: Haplorrhini (dry-nosed)

Family: Hominidae (erect, walking mammals)

Genus: Homo (humans and their close relatives, all now extinct but us)

Species: Homo sapiens (this two-name genus/species form is called binomial nomenclature)
