| What would a visit to a local supermarket be like if all the items were randomly placed in the store? Imagin if there was no dairy, produce, seafood or frozen foods sections, shopping would be confusing and frustrating. It's human nature to organize, to classify, to find similarities and patterns and to infer. That's what biologists do! All students will study classification of living things from now and until the Thanksgiving Day vacation. |
