Arthropods and humans belong to different phyla because they have distinct evolutionary lineages and biological characteristics. Arthropods, which include insects, arachnids, and crustaceans, are classified under the phylum Arthropoda, characterized by their exoskeleton, segmented bodies, and jointed appendages. In contrast, humans are part of the phylum Chordata, which is defined by features such as a notochord, dorsal nerve cord, and, in mammals, hair and mammary glands. These fundamental differences in anatomy and evolutionary history account for their classification into separate phyla.
