Carolus brought about the binomial nomenclature of organisms.e.g.,man is scientifically called Homo sapien.The first name is the generic name from the word 'genus' while the second name is the specific name from the word 'species'.The generic name begins with a capital letter while every other alphabet (including the specific name) is in small letter.The names are written with a space inbetween and are underlined seperately
