Perhaps the single greatest contribution Linnaeus made to science was his method of naming species. This method, called binomial nomenclature, gives each species a unique, two-word Latin name consisting of the genus name and the species name. An example is Homo sapiens, the two-word Latin name for humans.
The Latin names for individual species are written using a system termed binomial nomenclature that was developed originally by Linnaeus.Quite literally, each species is identified by a combination of two names: its genus name and its specific epithet.A familiar example is that of human beings, Homo sapiens.he Latin names for individual species are written using a system termed binomial nomenclature that was developed originally by Linnaeus.
