With so many different common names, how do we know we’re talking about the same thing? In 1735, Carl Linnaeus came up with ‘Linnaean classification’ – a system where related species were grouped together. Through this he devised ‘binomial naming’, meaning ‘two words’. This gives a Latin genus and species name, unique to that organism, that scientists can safely use to communicate with each other. The poster also indicates the meaning of some of the words within the full taxonomical name of the animals, showing how organisms are grouped by certain characteristics. This resource was developed by LinneanLearning, the Education Team at the Linnean Society of London. The Linnean Society is the oldest active biological society in the world. Founded in 1788, the Society continues to provide a forum for the discussion and the advancement of the life sciences.
