Carolus Linnaeus developed a system of classification in the 18th century that is still used today called binomial nomenclature. It assigns every living thing a two-part scientific name - the first part being the genus, a broader group, and the second being the specific epithet or species, a more precise classification. Some examples given are Canis familiaris for the domestic dog and Panthera leo for the lion. This system provides a standardized Latin naming convention that is universally understood for living organisms.
