    Classification groups living things according to shared characteristics. Taxonomy is the science of classification, which Aristotle began by grouping animals by movement. Later, Linnaeus developed binomial nomenclature, giving each organism a two-part scientific name combining its genus and species. There are seven main classification groups from broadest to most specific: kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.
