taxonomy
taxonomy is the science of classification.
the most common method of classification in modern taxonomic science consists of seven levels
of taxa, created by scientist Carl Linnaeus. the system looks like this:
1. kingdom
2. phylum
3. class
4. order
5. family
6. genus
7. species
using this system, scientists can formulate scientific names for species using a format known as
binomial nomenclature, which looks like this (i.e.):
common name: beaver
