Binomial Nomenclature Definition:

Binomial nomenclature is the system of scientifically naming organisms developed by Carl Linnaeus. Linnaeus published a large work, Systema Naturae (The System of Nature), in which Linnaeus attempted to identify every known plant and animal. This work was published in various sections between 1735 and 1758, and established the conventions of binomial nomenclature, which are still used today. Binomial nomenclature was established as a way to bring clarity to discussions of organisms, evolution, and ecology in general. Without a formalized system for naming organisms the discussion of them, even between peers that speak the same language, becomes nearly impossible. The number of different colloquial names for a single species can be staggering.Each scientific name in binomial nomenclature consists of two names, also called descriptors or epithets. The first word is the generic epithet and describes the genus that an animal belongs to. The second word is the specific epithet and refers to the species of the organism. Typically, the words have a Latin base and describe the genus or species with references to traits that are specific to the group. When written, the text of a scientific name is usually italicized or underlined, to clarify that it is a scientific name written in binomial nomenclature. The generic epithet is always capitalized, while the specific epithet is written in lower-case. In some older documents, both may be capitalized. Typically, the full name should be written out. However, when discussing many species of the same genus, the generic name is sometimes abbreviated to the first letter, still capitalized.Although a species may lose some or most of its ancestral characteristics, binomial nomenclature makes it easier to keep track of these relationships in the larger context of taxonomy.The generic epithet of binomial nomenclature refers to the taxonomic hierarchy of organisms, genus, of each organisms. This is a clue as to the origins, evolution, and life-history of the organism. Genera, which reside in families, share the traits of those families. In turn, families reside within orders, which also have their own characteristics. This continues up the hierarchy, all the way to the 4 domains of life, which are each distinguished by their own characteristics

Examples of Binomial Nomenclature:

1) Felis concolor.

2)Homo sapiens.
