2. Linnaeus’ Taxonomy Taxonomy is any method of classification.

3. Reasons for Using a Classification System: n Clarification of species n Allows for world-wide research

4. How Linnaeus’ System Works:

5. Kingdom: n The largest and most general taxon –Type of cells –Number of cells –Method of getting food

6. Kingdom: Animalia n Eukaryote: well defined nucleus n Multicellular: more than one cell n Heterotroph: food from an outside source

7. Kingdoms are Divided into Phyla:

8. Phylum Chordata: n Backbone n Paired appendages

9. Phyla are Divided into Classes:

10. Class: Mammalia n Diaphragm n Hair/fur n mammary glands

11. Classes are Divided into Orders:

12. The Primate Order: n Complex Brain n Opposable thumb n Stereovision n Separate radius and ulna n Fingernails

13. Types of Primates: n Apes n Humans n Prosimians n Monkeys –New World –Old World

14. Prosimians are: Lemurs & Tarsiers Ringtail Lemur Philippine Tarsier: Tarsius syrichta

15. Orders are Divided into Families:

16. Characteristics of Hominidae: n Walk upright n Small face and teeth relative to other primates n Large brain capacity

17. Families are Divided into Genera:

18. Characteristics of the Genus Homo: n Largest cranial capacity of any primate. n Cranial capacity increases with time.

19. Genera are divided into Species Homo erectus neanderthalis vs. sapiens sapiens

20. Modern Humans Homo sapiens sapiens Leonardo Da Vinci
