Who is the father of binomial nomenclature?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Carolus Linnaeus

Direct answer: B, Carolus Linnaeus. Binomial nomenclature is the scientific system in which each organism receives a two-part name. The first part is the genus and begins with a capital letter; the second part is the specific epithet and begins with a lowercase letter. For example, Homo sapiens is the scientific name of modern humans. Linnaeus developed and popularised this consistent naming system, so he is called the father of binomial nomenclature. A, Aristotle, made important early attempts to classify living things, but he did not establish the modern two-part naming system. C, Charles Darwin, explained evolution by natural selection; he is not known as the founder of binomial nomenclature. D, Lamarck proposed an early theory of evolution, but he also did not create this naming system. Memory cue: “Linnaeus links living things with labels.” Do not confuse the father of binomial nomenclature with earlier contributors to classification.
