Naming
taxonomic ranks
like
genus
,
domain
, etc. is
a
fucking
waste
of
time
, only
useful
before
we
developed
molecular biology
.
All that
matters
is the tree of
clades
with examples of
species
in each
clade
, and common characteristics shared by the
clade
.
And with
molecular biology
,
we
can build those trees incredibly well for
extant
species
. When
extinct
species
are involved however, things get more complicated.
