    • why classify?
      • Means of seekig order
      • Vast no. of  organisms exist
      • Ensure standardization
        • Taxonomy- Naming organisms

          • Similar patterns. From big groups to sub categories- hierachy
            • Aristotle based the first classification on structures, behavior and degree of developement

              • 8 ranks: kingdom phylum class order family genera species
      • Methods used
        • common characteristics (homology), similarities in internal and external body structures, development characteristics, genotype
        • *homology structures may look different but are similar as they developed fro same ancestors, anology- body structures may resemble
    • 1969- Robert H. Whittaker
      • 5 kingdoms
        • Bacteria, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia
