What is Classification? How many different species of living things are there on Earth? Scientists believe that there could be as many as 10 million different species on Earth! It would be very hard to study the lives and behaviours of all these living things without grouping them together somehow. Scientists sort and group living things according to their similarities and differences. This is called classification. Scientists who classify living things are called taxonomists.
