Carl Linnaeus invents binomial names
The Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus devised the system that is currently
used to name living things in 1753. His system, called the binomial [1]
system, uses Latin. Unlike common names, the meaning of Latin words or
endings do not change with time.
The scientific name of the domestic horse is _Equus caballus._ You will
notice the name is made up of two words. The first word _Equus_ is the name
of the (more on this later) the horse belongs to. It always begins with a
capital letter. The second word _caballus_ is in small letters and refers
to its species name. There are several other species in the genus _Equus
_but only the domestic horse is given the species name _caballus._
