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

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

  3. How Linnaeus’System Works:

  4. Kingdom: • The largest and most general taxon • Type of cells • Number of cells • Method of getting food

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

  6. Kingdoms are Divided into Phyla:

  7. Phylum Chordata: • Backbone • Paired appendages

  8. Phyla are Divided into Classes:

  9. Class: Mammalia • Diaphragm • Hair/fur • mammary glands

  10. Classes are Divided into Orders:

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

  12. Types of Primates: • Apes • Humans • Prosimians • Monkeys • New World • Old World

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

  14. Orders are Divided into Families:

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

  16. Families are Divided into Genera:

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

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

  19. Modern HumansHomo sapiens sapiens Leonardo Da Vinci
