From which language is the human scientific name 'Homo sapiens' derived?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Latin

Correct answer: A, Latin. Scientific names are written in a Latin or Latinized form so that the naming system can be used internationally and remain relatively stable despite differences among modern languages. Homo sapiens is the scientific name of humans: Homo is the genus and sapiens is the specific epithet. A is correct because the binomial is presented in the conventional Latinized language of biological nomenclature. B is incorrect because scientific names are not ordinary English names. C is incorrect for this question because Greek roots have contributed many scientific terms, but Homo sapiens is conventionally written as a Latin binomial. D is incorrect because German is not the standard language of binomial nomenclature. Memory cue: scientific names are “Latinized for worldwide use,” not translated separately in every country.
