traditional classification - external characteristics
evolutionary classification - organisms classified by their evolutionary relationships

Traditional classification only uses Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species. But modern classification now uses Domain before the rest of the taxa. There are three domains: Eubacteria, Archaebacteria, and Eukarya.
