2. THE SYSTEM OF CLASSIFICATION

3. What is classification?

4. Classification : putting things into orderly groups based on similar characteristics.

5. Why do we classify things?

6. CLASSIFICATION Taxonomy is the branch of science that names and groups organisms according to their characteristics and evolutionary history.

7. EARLY System of CLASSIFICATION Aristotle grouped everything into simple groups such as animals or plants. Organisms were first classified more than 2,000 years.

8. Air dwellers Water dwellers Land dwellers Animal Organisms EARLY System of CLASSIFICATION Plants were placed into three categories based on the differences in their stems

9. The system of classification The modern classification system was developed by the Swedish scientist Carolus Linnaeus in the mid 1700’s . Some characteristics he used to classify organisms were outside appearance , internal organs , and how body systems worked .

10. The system of classification He developed a Hierarchy (a ranking system) for classifying organisms that is the Basis for Modern Taxonomy. For this reason, he is considered to be “father” of modern taxonomy.

11. CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM Kingdom - is the highest and most comprehensive level of classification. Phylum – is a group of related classes. Class – is a group of related orders. Order – is a group of related families.

12. CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM Family – is a group of related genera. Genus – is a group of related species. Species – is a group of similar individuals capable of interbreeding to produce fertile offspring.

15. The Human Species Kingdom: Phylum: Class: Order: Family: Genus: Species: Animalia (Animal in Latin) Chordata (Spinal Cord) Mammalia (have mammary glands) Primates (two mammary glands) Hominoidea (bipedalism) Homo Sapien

16. Importance Clarify relationships among organisms Help us remember organisms communicate clearly the identity of organisms provide stable names improve our predictive powers System of Classification

18. CONCLUSION The classification system for organisms have been around for a long time. It has endured several changes and is quite complex . Without it modern biology could not exist, much in the same way that a grocery store would go out of business if it did not have a classification system . Thus, classification of organisms help us to easily identify, quantify and protect species diversity.
