The full taxonomy classification of humans, according to the Linnaean system of taxonomy, is as follows:

Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Mammalia
Order: Primates
Family: Hominidae
Genus: Homo
Species: Homo sapiens

So, humans belong to the kingdom Animalia, the phylum Chordata (which includes animals with a notochord or spinal cord), the class Mammalia (which includes mammals that nurse their young with milk), the order Primates (which includes primates like monkeys, apes, and humans), the family Hominidae (which includes great apes and humans), the genus Homo (which includes various extinct human ancestors as well), and the species Homo sapiens (which is the specific species to which modern humans belong).

It's worth noting that this classification is based on biological taxonomy and does not encompass other aspects of human classification such as cultural, social, or linguistic categorizations.
