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)
