HS 037: Taxonomy – From Sexy Bryophytes to Zombie Ant Fungus


Listen Later

How close are mammals to reptiles? How much do birds and butterfly have in common? How about polar bears and orchids? High Science dives into the biological classification system known as taxonomy. We explore the history of taxonomy and it's hierarchy. We also dive deep into the plant and fungus kingdoms. We also play a game called "Is THAT a fruit?" and by the end we all question our collective reality.
