    I can name some of them

    Kingdom - Animal
    Phylum - vertebrate I'm pretty sure

    Genus - Homo
    species - sapien

    Genus - Simean? Primate?
    species - homosapien (homoscapien?)
    wrong on all counts, though you are only off in spelling/language for the first one.

    I know one of them is "mamailia" (mammals for the rest of us)
    another is "pimate"
    another I think in "hominid"

    Lets try (using zen's to build on):
    Kingdom - animal
    Phylum - vertibrate
    Class - mamalia
    Order - primate
    Family - hominid
    Genus - ?
    Species - homo sapien

    Do I get points for being close?

    Oh Christ BI, calling Animal wrong because its supposed to be Animalia is getting a little picky, dontcha think?

    And its a trick question. We are a member of a subphylum, which you never mentioned, which throws things off.

    simmer down buckshot. . .i said you only missed it in spelling/language. and dsuds thread i said it was right when he was clearly using your list.

    how does the subphylum throw things off?

    for the record, the only one i got right when asked this question was the kingdom, though i maintain they've changed it since i was in highschool.

    damn. before opening the thread, i came up with animalia ... mammalia ... homo sapiens. everything else was a fat blank.

    ask me about liquidambar styraciflua, tho, and i've got your BACK, jack! plant scientist roll call! me... and... uhh... well, probably just me! wheee!

    Not all species have a subphylum classication, and in your initial question list you didn't mention the existence of one for us. As it turns out, my guess for our phylum is actually our subphylum. So I should get half credit at least

    Back in the 7th grade when I first learned this, I could have recited it with no problem thanks to my very competant science teacher Mrs. Amara.

    Unfortunately, that information was accidentally deleted after a weekend party during my undergraduate college years.
    I think over again
    My small adventures, my fears.
    The small ones that seemed so big,
    For all the vital things I had to get and to reach.

    And yet there is only one great thing, the only thing:

    To live to see the great day that dawns,
    And the light that fills the world.

    kindom=animal
    phylum=vertebretes
    class=mammals
    order=primate
    family=mankind
    genus=homo
    species=sapiens

    It's not the scientific names but I think a science teacher would except them.

    apparently you missed the without google part.

    you don't have enough brain cells left to remember that.

    it's still not correct.

    kindom=animal
    phylum=vertebretes wrong
    class=mammals
    order=primate
    family=mankind wrong
    genus=homo
    species=sapiens

    maybe close enough for horse shoes or hand grenades, but the two marked are just plain wrong.

    besides, i likes me some crack. with just one or two crackrocks i can get my whole yard mowed.

    phylum is chordata
    family is hominidae
