• Archaebacteria
• Eubacteria
• Protista
• Fungi
• Plants
• Animals

Why are things grouped (classified)?

• Organization

Classification

• The systematic grouping of organisms into
  categories on the basis of evolutionary or
  structural relationships between them.
• Also known as the science of taxonomy.

Early history

• Aristotle-first to organize living things
• 2 large groups-plant and animal

  organisms-has sub-groups and names
• Father of taxonomy
• is Carl Linnaeus

Humans Chimpanzee

• Kingdom Animal Animal
• Phylum Chordata Chordata
• Class Mammalia Mammalia
• Order Primates Primates
• Family Hominadae Pongidae
• Genus Homo Pan
• Species sapiens troglodytes

11
What is a primate?

• hands and feet which are adapted for grasping,
• their thumbs and big toes can be moved to touch
  the other digits and are known as opposable
  digits,
• eyes on the front of the face - binocular vision.
  This is a great help in judging distance
  accurately,

12
What do all hominids have?

• bipedalism and large brains
• share more than 97 of their DNA with the modern
  human genome, and exhibit a capacity for language
  or for simple cultures beyond the family.

13
Binomial nomenclature

• C. Linnaeus developed a system that gives a 2
  word name to every organism.
• The 2 word naming system is called
• binomial nomenclature
• It helps to avoid confusion
• It uses the Genus and species name only

14
Some common names

• Canis familiaris - dog
• Felis domesticus - cat
• Canis lupus - wolf
• Vulpes vulpes - fox
• Ichthyomyzon gagi - brook lamprey
• Populus deltoides - cottonwood
• Cercis canadensis - red bud
• Diospyros virginiana - persimmon
• Carya illinoensis - pecan

15
Classification and evolution

• According to Charles Darwins theory of
  evolution,
• members that are grouped together have similar
• characteristics because they descended from a
• common ancestor
• Classification shows
• the evolutionary relationships
• of organisms

16
A dichotomous key

• is used to identify organisms that you do not
  already know.
• Means "two forks".
• A dichotomous key is one tool that can be used to
  identify trees or any other organism
