Organism Classification
In our current classification system, organisms are categorized by: Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus Species.
My question is...
When was the last time a new Species was discovered? Probably 2005, since new species discoveries are fairly common.
What about a new Genus?
A new Family? Order? Clss? Phylum? Kingdom?
Is it even possible now for us to discover an organism that needs a new Kingdom? Have we exhausted any of these? If we've exhausted Kingdoms, how about Phylums?
