The Classification of Organisms: Video Review

The video tutorial explores the classification of life on Earth, starting with historical contributions by Carolus Linnaeus and his binomial nomenclature system. It then delves into the modern classification hierarchy and systematic biology, which studies life's diversification and evolutionary relationships. The tutorial also covers phylogeny and various characteristics used to understand organisms, such as physical features and fossil evidence. Finally, it briefly examines the three major domains that represent life's diversity.
