which class of animal is Man?

Question

I was taught in 3rd grade science that there was 5 basic classes of animals...and we are part of the fur-bearing class......I realize that each of the 5 classes of animals have many facets.....

Answer 1

We're mammals...and to extent to an answer below..we were classified not as Homo Sapiens..but Homo Sapien Sapiens...I know it sounds weird, but it was something like as a species we're more intelligent than the original Homo Sapiens..

Answer 2

Mmm, I'm afraid what you were taught in school responded to an outdated view of biological diversity.
In that "typological" view, vertebrate animals were traditionally divided into 5 classes:
Pisces (fish)
Amphibia (frogs, newts and relatives)
Reptilia (turtles, crocs, lizards and snakes)
Aves (birds)
Mammalia (mammals = the "fur-bearing class" that you mention).

From this perspective, Man (Homo sapiens sapiens <--- please note that only the name of the genus is capitalized) belongs to Class Mammalia, order Primates
Here's a classification scheme for Primates:

However, it's been many years now since that classification scheme was abandoned in favor of a different one that actually reflects the evolutionary relationships among vertebrates, and in which only natural groups are recognized as valid.
Natural or monophyletic groups are those formed by a common ancestor and all its descendants; thus, "Pisces" is not a natural group, and neither is "Reptilia".

Check this illustration, it shows the modern classification (branching scheme) as well as the old groups (boxes at the top):

Answer 3

Well there is 5 kingdoms you know Animals, Plants, Bacteria, Microscopic water creatures, and fungi. We as humans are in the animal kingdom, from there is the Chordata Phylum or things with backbones. Then we are classed as mammels because we produce live young and make milk, then we are put in the order of primates then there is the family, we belong in the Family Hominidae, and then there is the Genus which is Homo and finaly the species - human

Answer 4

Mammals

Answer 5

How about being objective? You can dislike porn without having to be religious. Do I put down men for it? No. I just wish it wasn't accepted as "normal". It's not. Watching people writhe and moan while performing degrading acts can do no one any good. As for erotic reading - if you are talking about 50 shades of Grey - I haven't read it nor have any of my friends.

Answer 6

Not that this is correct, as I'm not really sure of what you're asking - but humans are Home sapien sapiens. The above poster is incorrect.

Answer 7

Mammalian

Answer 8

Sorry, there are 7 recognised classes of vertebrates:
jawless fish - agnatha
cartilaginous fish - chondrichthyes
bony fish - osteichthyes
amphibians - amphibia
reptiles - reptilia
birds - aves
mammals - mammalia <- us

Answer 9

Our species is homo sapiens sapiens, our biological family is hominidae. We are also primates and mammals.

Answer 10

class mammilia
