Which kingdom does the human race belong in and why?

Answer 1

Humans belong in the Animalia (or animal) kingdom. Animals are complex multicellular organisms which rely on other organic materials, digested in an internal chamber, to sustain life. All animals are motile, which means they can move around spontaneously, using energy in the process. Reproduction in animals is by the fertilisation of an ovum.

Answer 2

The human race belongs to the animal kingdom, specifically the kingdom Animalia, as humans share common characteristics with other animals such as multicellularity, the ability to move, and the requirement to consume food for energy.
