Scientific names for organisms are based on a standardized naming system called binomial nomenclature, which was developed by Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus in the 18th century.
Each scientific name consists of two parts: the genus name (written with a capital letter) and the species name (written with a lowercase letter). For example, Homo sapiens is the scientific name for humans, with Homo being the genus and sapiens being the species.
Scientific names are often derived from Latin or Greek words and are used universally to avoid confusion caused by different common names for the same organism.
Scientific names are unique to each species, allowing scientists to accurately and unambiguously identify and classify organisms regardless of their geographic location or language.
