In 1735, Carolus Linnaeus published the first edition of his Systema Naturae, which set forth his system for classifying all living things. It has since been continually revised and expanded.  In spite of its limitations and faults, the Linnaean system was universally used for 270 years.     That system has since become obsolete due to the widespread adoption of the new  Cladistics classification system, which is based on the development of physical characteristics and arranges organisms by their order of branching in an evolutionary tree. It has been used in most universities and colleges since the late 1990s and is now finding it ways into the grade schools. This new poster shows this new system.     Simultaneous with this revolutionary change in classification systems, many new species have been discovered. Some have been so unique, that they have been given their own phylum / clade. This all-new version of this poster now include clades of extinct species. The result is a comprehensive overview of all life that has lived on Earth. The number of phyla / clades has jumped from 27 to 41.   See the companion poster, Plant Kingdom
