The scientific name, also known as the binomial nomenclature, is a formal system of naming species in Biology. It consists of two parts: the genus name, which is capitalized, and the species name, which is lowercase, both typically italicized (e.g., Homo sapiens). This naming convention helps in accurately identifying and classifying organisms, reducing confusion that may arise from common names. The system was developed by Carl Linnaeus in the 18th century.
