Nope, although things are tending that way. This is the traditional version - Order: Primata Suborder: Anthropoidea (one of two) Superfamily: Hominoidea (one of three) Family: Hominidae (one of two) Genus: Homo (no others) Species: Sapiens (no others) Subspecies: Sapiens (no others) The trouble with this is that it greatly overstates the genetic distance between humans and apes (Family Pongidae). It will undoubtedly be further simplified at some point: the days when every new fossil hominid was assigned to a new genus are long gone. Family seems too high a level for the Hominidae, a group containing only one extant subspecies, so they may well be downgraded - not as far as species, though. -- Don Aitken ___ NewsGate v1.0 gamma 2 - Origin: FamilyNet Newsgate telnet://www.family-bbs.net (8:8/2002) FamilyNet <> Internet Gated Mail http://www.fmlynet.org
