Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Taxonomical classification of living organisms divides all the living organisms discovered till date on the extent of shared similarities between them. Organisms falling in the lowest taxon are very closely related to each other and probably share common ancestry whereas organisms falling in the higher taxa are less closely related to each other. With every step upwards in the taxonomical classification, the extent of similarities decreases between the organisms.
