Humans are:

  • Domain Eukaryota
  • Kingdom Animalia
  • Phylum Chordata
  • Class Mammalia
  • Order Primates
  • Family Hominidae
  • Genus Homo
  • Species sapiens

There are other intermediate steps I've left out: to list a few, we're in Subphylum Vertebrata, Subfamily Homininae and Tribe Hominini.

Humans are in the family Hominidae, also sometimes called "great apes". The family includes orangutans, gorillas, and chimpanzees as well as humans. The "superfamily" Hominoideaalso includes the "lesser apes" ... gibbons.
