Question
What kingdom, phylum, subphylum, class order, family, genus, and species are humans in?
In the following I have added the highest order taxonomic classification, which is Domain. I have listed both the Latin name and the colloquial English form. Note that there are lots of web resources that describe the taxonomic classification of life.
Domain: Eukarya Kingdom: Animalia (Animals) Phylum: Chordata (Chordates) Subphylum: Vertebrata (Vertebrates) Class: Mammalia (Mammals) Order: Primata (Primates) Suborder: Anthropoidea (Anthropods) Family: Hominidae (Hominids) Genus: Homo (Man) Species: sapiens
