What are the 5 Kingdoms of Classification? 9 Class Science
Diversity In Living Organisms – 5 Kingdoms of Classification – Each organism is different from all other organisms. The presence of various forms of plants and animals is known as diversity. Greek thinker Aristotle classified animals according to whether they lived on land, in water or in the air. This classification is a landmark in ideology but has limitations. For example, animals that live in the sea include Corals, Whales, Octopus, Starfish, and Shark. In fact, they are different from each other. Classification and Evolution: organisms are classified based on body design, the hierarchy in developing, relation to evolution. Charles Darwin first described the idea of evolution in 1859 in his book “ The Origin of Species”. The Biologists, such as Haeckel, Whittaker & Carl Woese tried to classify all living organisms into broad Kingdoms. The Whittaker proposed five kingdoms: Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia. Carl Woese introduced by dividing Monera into Archaebacteria and Eubacteria.
