Binomial Nomenclature is the method of giving scientific names to living organisms.
“Bi-nomial” means “Two names”
As the word “binomial” suggests, the scientific name of any living organism consists of two names: the first is the GENUS name and the second one is the name of SPECIES.
The scientific name of human beings is HOMOSAPIENS.
