Book Description:

This title explores how cells have formed the dazzling array of life that we see around us. No one knows how many millions of different species there may be on our planet, and new ones are discovered every year. Scientists classify living things into different groups in order to help make sense of this diversity of life. This book looks at the way classification has changed over time, including a recent suggestion to classify living things into three domains rather than six kingdoms.
