Taxonomy is the branch of Biology that's job is to name and classify species.
On the broadest spectrum of classification of all living things, you have three overarching groups called Domains: Bacteria Domain, Archaea Domain, and Eukaraya Domain. Bacteria and Archaea Domains consist of prokaryotes, that is organisms with prokaryotic cells. Eukaraya Domain consists of eukaryotes, that is organisms with eukaryotic cells. Humans have eukaryotic cells and are therefore in the Eukarya Domain.

Humans fall under the domain of Eukarya in the classification system. This domain includes all organisms that have complex cells with a defined nucleus, such as animals, plants, fungi, and protists.
Humans belong to the domain Eukarya, not Archaea or Bacteria. This means that they are multicellular organisms and that their cells contain a nucleus.
The domain that includes prokaryotes living in soil, water, and humans is Bacteria. Bacteria are single-celled microorganisms that can be found in a wide variety of environments, including soil, water, and the human body.

Unicellular prokaryotic organisms are actually broken up into the Bacteria and Archaea domains. The Bacteria domain has several shapes, and the Archaea domain generally resembles the bacteria domain.
Yeast belongs to the domain Eukaryota.
The kingdom Animalia belongs to the domain Eukarya, the kingdom Plantae belongs to the domain Eukarya, the kingdom Fungi belongs to the domain Eukarya, the kingdom Protista belongs to the domain Eukarya, and the kingdoms Bacteria and Archaea belong to the domain Bacteria.
