The ... #WhatsTheWord-- #Hierarchy? of Life (e.g. into Species of Genuses of Families of Orders of Classes of Phyla of ...) @tes
'That word' (below-hyperlinked to tes's page on the 'classification & organization' (words I think I've already "done") of life) is built on an even-deeper source ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which our lexicon stands ...
The word “Hierarchy” (like #Hierarch #Hierarchal #Hierarchic #Hierarchical) is built on ancient words that mean "the Sacred |Rites (see |Ire) + to Lead, Rule (see Archon)" (initially referring to the Three Divisions of the Nine Orders of Angels, then applied to the Ranked Organization of People in a Group (e.g. the Clergy, the Royalty, a Company)).
I guess that's how biologists classify every life-form.
- Each life-form (for example, the Human) is a member of a
- Species (Sapiens) that's part of a
- Genus (Homo ... a genus of-which 'Sapiens' are the only living specie) that's part of a
- Family (Hominids ... including humans, chimpanzees, orangutans, gorillas) that's part of an
- Order (Primate ... animals with flat nails instead of claws or hooves, and massive brains) that's part of a
- Class (Mammalia) that's part of a
- Phylum (Chordata) that's part of a
- Kingdom (Animalia) that's part of a
- Domain (Eukaryota)
