Nouns

The procedure of naming organisms is called nomenclature, and it follows the binomial naming system established by Carl Linnaeus. Each organism is given a two-part Latin name: the genus name, which is capitalized, and the species name, which is lowercase. Both names are italicized or underlined when written. This system ensures that each species has a unique and universally recognized name, facilitating clear communication among scientists worldwide.

The British held specific gender ideas regarding slave women that often combined notions of race, sexuality, and subservience.

Furthermore, these views reflected broader societal attitudes towards women, where enslaved women were seen as inferior and subservient not only because of their race but also due to their gender.
