Scientific names are written in binomial nomenclature, a system devised by Carl Linneaus. A scientific name is comprised of two words, both in modern latin. The first word is the genus name and the second is a species name unique to that organism in that genus. For example: homo sapiens. Homo refers to the genus that contains humans, of which many species are extinct. Sapiens means wise which is used to describe human beings differently from the rest of the family.
