Taxonomy is much more complicated than I remember from high school. For one thing I thought it started with Kingdom, which consisted of Animal and Plant. There’s like 20x more to it. And I actually liked school and mostly paid attention. WTF?

When I learned about taxonomy in the 90’s they hadn’t really sequenced many genomes, so taxonomy was still very much phenotype driven, rather than the modern genetic/molecular approaches. I just assumed that everything I learned has become out of date.
