A few centuries ago, most people who were educated used Latin and/or Greek when reading and writing. That was the "universal" language of the time. In fact, Latin still underpins much of the field of medicine and nursing. The word homo sapiens is Latin for wise man. The two words also are the genus and species for humans.
