Anthropods (humans) should not be confused with the similarly-spelled Arthropods.
Among others, the Arthropoda phylum contains the classes Arachnida (the Spiders), Merestomata (horseshoe crabs), Myriapoda (centipedes and millipedes), and the subphylum Pancrustacea which includes class Insecta (insects) and the crustaceans - crabs, lobsters, shrimp, etc.
