The Kingdoms of Life: Classification
More than two million different species of organisms
live on the Earth—in all kinds of climates and
places, ranging from the freezing North Pole to hot
and steamy jungles, and from the highest mountains to
the nethermost depths of the oceans. How do we keep
track of all the teeming abundance of life on Earth?
Throughout history, humans have always been busy naming
and classifying all living things. That process continues
today.
The Kingdoms of Life: Classification explores the amazing diversity of life on Earth and details one way scientists currently organize their records to make sure that no organism is left unnamed and unclassified.
