Phylum .- groups different kinds of organisms in a more specific way than the kingdoms or domains. Example, phylum Arthropoda includes all the arthropods, crabs, spiders, insects, etc.

Genus .- includes several species. It forms part of the scientific name given to an organism. For example, all the primitive humans are genus Homo
