Taxonomy is the practise and science of classification of organisms. The classical Linnaean taxonomy uses the following major taxonomic units: Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus and finally Species. Man for instance has the following classification: Eukaryota (Domain) > Animalia (Kingdom) > Chordata (Phylum) > Mammalia (Class) > Primates (Order) > Hominidae (Family) < Homo (Genus) < Homo sapiens (Species)
