No, Charles Darwin did not coin the terms "species" and "genus." These terms were used prior to Darwin's time, with "genus" being introduced by the ancient Roman naturalist Pliny the Elder and "species" having roots in Latin. Darwin's contributions were primarily in the theory of evolution and natural selection, which helped to explain the relationships between different species and genera.
