What is classification?
Classification: putting things into orderly groups based on similar characteristics
Taxonomy: the science of describing, naming, and classifying organisms according to their characteristics and evolutionary history

Grouped organisms into hierarchical categories
Starts broad and ends specific

Scientific Names: Binomial Nomenclature
An organism’s genus is always written first; the organism’s species is always written second
The genus is Capitalized; the species is written in lower case
Homo sapiens

Phylogenetic Tree:
- Family tree showing evolutionary history
- shows relationships thought to exist between groups or organisms

- Uses shared derived traits
- Derived traits indicate divergence from a common ancestor
