Document Summary
Further back, we"ll meet an ancestor who is also the ancestor of all living mammals. Even further back is the individual who"s also ancestor to all living humans and all living plants. History of life is continuous and it is hard to say where a particular kind of organism starts or stops. Species the first way to classify living organisms. Are uniquely identified by their biological names, following the system introduced by the. The name consists of 2 parts: 1. The first, capitalized, representing the genus (plural genera: 2. Not capitalized, representing the species within the genus, as in canis lupus, the wolf: 3. Reproductive isolation can define a specie from other species. Humans are distinct species from gorillas because human and gorillas do not interbreed. If there was even occasional interbreeding, they could be a subspecies of the same specie. So where a new species name begins in time is more a matter of decision.
