I COMPLETELY don't understand my Human Origins homework..?

Question

Can anyone help me with this question? I don't understand.

"Write a detailed taxonomy of this primate from the Order level to the species level. IMPORTANT: include the appropriate sub-, infra- and super- taxonomic subdivisions we discussed in class."

It's on the red-faced spider monkey. Good thing I am not going into Anthropology as a major or I would be LOST.

Answer 1

Kingdom: Animalia



Phylum: Chordata



Class: Mammalia



Order: Primates



Family: Atelidae



Genus: Ateles



Species: A. paniscus

Answer 2

Taxonomy, that's its classification: kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species is the biological classification system.

You're being asked to give the classifications from order on down.

I wasn't in your class, and so don't know the sub- et al. stuff referred to. Did you take notes on that in class?

This is biology stuff, not anthropology stuff, BTW.
