1 Classification Current number of species identified on Earth: 1.7 million Write down all notes in BLACK text

2 How do we make sense of them all? We CLASSIFY them! Categorization of organisms into groups based on shared characteristics.

3 Carl Von Linnaeus (1707 - 1778) Father of Taxonomy (Classification) – first to organize things into the groups we still use today

4 Classification of Biodiversity Domain Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species (Did King Philip Cried Oh For Goodness Sakes?)

5 Major characteristics of the Animal kingdom: Eukaryotic Cells Multi-Cellular Heterotrophs

6 Classification of a HUMANS: Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Primates Family: Hominidae (Tribe: Hominini) Genus: Homo Species: sapien

7 Classification of Orangutans: Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Primates Family: Hominidae (Subfamily: Ponginae) Genus: Pongo Species: borneo

8 Binomial Nomenclature Two name system – SCIENTIFIC NAMES! Genus (first word) and species (second word) of an organism. Ex: Homo sapian (Human) Balaenoptera musculus (Blue Whale)

9 Dichotomous Keys Used to identify organisms based on characteristics Halibut Video (for Fish Sorting activity)Halibut Video
