Summary Introduction

To list: The most inclusive to least inclusive of principal categories of Linnaean classification that is currently applied to animals.

Introduction: The taxonomy is also called as arrangement law, which is the branch of science used to name and classify the groups of biological organisms based on the shared characteristics. The taxonomical classification is used to reveal the evolutionary relationship of the animal populations based on their taxon. Based on their taxonomic ranks, the animals are placed in the hierarchical system of taxonomy.

Explanation of Solution

Carolus Linnaeus’ concept of the hierarchical system of classification is used to arrange an organism into a series of groups of ever-decreasing inclusiveness. Moreover, the organism is grouped into major taxa from there they are given the standard taxonomic ranks to identify the general degree of inclusiveness.

Linnaeus concept of hierarchical system of classification from most inclusive to least inclusive is as follows:

Kingdom  Phylum  Class  Order  Family Genus Species.
