Carl Linnaeus

The scientific term for human beings is Homo sapiens. In Latin, Homo means "man" and sapiens means "wise." Although closely related, dogs and wolves are separate species. Therefore, dogs are called Canis familiaris and wolves are called Canis lupus. This system for classifying living things was developed by the Swedish scientist Carl Linnaeus almost 300 years ago and is still used by scientists today. Book jacket.
