The Secrets of Binomial Nomenclature

Every single living thing, from you to a mango, has a secret two-part name.

It’s called binomial nomenclature, a universal system so scientists worldwide don't get confused

by local names. Think of it like a first and last name for every species, like *Homo sapiens*

for us. But it gets deeper. Every organism is filed into a giant cosmic library with

levels: Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family,

Genus, and finally, Species. So, a housefly isn't

just a fly; it's in the family Muscidae and the order Diptera. This system shows how everything is

connected, a huge, organized family tree for all of life.
