scientific name. (sÄ«'Én-tÄ­f'Ä­k) A name used by scientists, especially the taxonomic name of an organism that consists of the genus and species. Scientific names usually come from Latin or Greek. An example is Homo sapiens, the scientific name for humans.
The binomial name Homo sapiens was coined by Carl Linnaeus (1758). Names for other species of the genus were introduced beginning in the second half of the 19th century (H. neanderthalensis 1864, H. erectus 1892).The genus Homo was given its taxonomic name to suggest that its member species can be classified as human.And, over the decades of the 20th century, fossil finds of pre-human and early human species from late Miocene and early Pliocene times produced a rich mix for debating classifications.he genus Homo was given its taxonomic name to suggest that its member species can be classified as human.
