The evolution of life on Earth is a complex process, resulting in a rich biodiversity of species. A crucial tool for understanding this diversity is classification, a method for organizing life forms into hierarchical categories.

Classification of Animal Kingdom

The classification of the animal kingdom has journeyed from simple, observation-based categorization to sophisticated, data-driven systems reflecting evolutionary relationships.
