According to his code of nomenclature , (“Bi”
meaning “two”), the name of every living organism consists of two words – the first word, referring to generic name (name of the genus ),
which is common with other related forms, and the second word is species name which is unique for a particular
organism. The two together specify the name of the species e.g.,
Homo sapiens (Man, the wise) is the scientific name of
“Modern man” where Homo is
the name of the genus and sapiens is
the name of species.
