The ISO Classification System And The CGL Policy

We have a need to classify stuff—including all living things.

For example, the scientific approach to an orderly classification of plants and animals according to their presumed natural relationships is called taxonomy.

Remember middle school science classes? Animals (including humans) are classified by kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.
