    Do people also view kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species as “ranks” of some sort, with some intrinsically greater value being given to some over others?

    Well, for humans we most certainly do

      So, “homo” is better than “sapiens”? And “animal” is better than homo sapiens?

      Or do I have it backwards, and “lower” ranks are better? So, “pinus ponderosa” would be better than “plant”?
