In 1758, the taxonomist Linnaeus published in Systema Naturae a categorization of species which included the <answer>Canis</answer> species. <answer>Canis</answer> is a Latin word meaning dog, and the list included the dog-like carnivores: the domestic dog, wolves, foxes and jackals. The dog was classified as <answer>Canis</answer> familiaris, which means "Dog-family" or the family dog. On the next page he recorded the wolf as <answer>Canis</answer> lupus, which means "Dog-wolf". In 1978, a review aimed at reducing the number of recognized <answer>Canis</answer> species proposed that "<answer>Canis</answer> dingo is now generally regarded as a distinctive feral domestic dog. <answer>Canis</answer> familiaris is used for domestic dogs, although taxonomically it should probably be synonymous with <answer>Canis</answer> lupus." In 1982, the first edition of Mammal Species of the World listed <answer>Canis</answer> familiaris under <answer>Canis</answer> lupus with the comment: "Probably ancestor of and conspecific with the domestic dog, familiaris. <answer>Canis</answer> familiaris has page priority over <answer>Canis</answer> lupus, but both were published simultaneously in Linnaeus (1758), and <answer>Canis</answer> lupus has been universally used for this species", which avoided classifying the wolf as the family dog. The dog is now listed among the many other Latin-named subspecies of <answer>Canis</answer> lupus as <answer>Canis</answer> lupus familiaris.
