A natural place for us to begin our investigation of animal diversity is with our own species. Who are we in the animal kingdom? We like to think of ourselves as unique and of course, we are--yet we share common ancestry to a greater or lesser degree with all other animals. What does that mean? We will begin to find out by investigating the classification of humans. To understand better what we share in common at each level of the classification hierarchy, research the distinguishing features for each taxon in our family tree. Click here for a quick review of classification and how humans are classified. Then click here for details about each level of classification. A description of what is due for this and all other assignments is given below and to the right (in blue).
