Document Summary
Systematics: seeking order amidst diversity: taxonomy is the subset of biology concerned with naming and classifying the diverse forms of life on our planet, homo sapiens (humans), sciaenops ocellatus (redfish), agra sasquatch (big feet) Now there are 3 domains: the 3 domains and the kingdoms within them each have observably different attributes that define them. Individuals may look different but can reproduce and are the same species. Historically, taxonomy is an inexact process: organisms which were once placed together in a certain classification group have been separated when new or better evidence is uncovered, dna sequencing of genomes for example.
