His system is called Binomial Nomenclature. An example would be Felis concolor. Felis is the Genus and concolor is the Species. The genus is capitalized and the species is not.
Carl Linnaeus (born 1707) made a classification system for living beings we use today. It starts with Kingdoms: Animalia (Animals), Plantae (Plants), Fungi, Protozoa and Monera (Bacteria). Some scientists claim that there are six kingdoms and that Monera is split into Eubacteria and Archaebacteria.
After the Kingdoms are the Phylum, then Class, then Order, then Family, then Subfamily, then Tribe, Genus, and Species. Descending, each type gets more and more specific.
Now for the "Two-word" part. If you take the Genus and Species and put them one after another, you get the scientific name. For example, we humans are Homo Sapiens and Apple Trees are Malus domestica. Chimps also have the Genus "Homo" but not the Species "Sapiens".
