Binomial nomenclature is a system of naming of an organism by two names is introduced by Carolus Linnaeus. In this system the name of any organism is written by its genus name and species name. While writing the scientific name of an organism, the name of the genus written first with a capital letter and the name of the species is written second with a small letter. For example, <em>Canis lupis</em> is the scientific name of wolf. Canis is the generic name and lupis is species name.
As many believe after doing an extensive form of research work of years that reptiles are the ancestors of the mammals that we see now. Which means that we mammals evolved from the pre-historic form of reptiles.
Explanation:
Fossils of Thrinaxodon, a species that lived during the Triassic period, have been found in both South Africa and Antarctica. Thrinaxodon had a reptile-like skeleton and laid eggs, but small depressions on the front of its skull suggest it had whiskers and, therefore, fur. Thrinaxodon may have been warm-blooded. The fossils of Thrinaxodon are consistent with the hypothesis that <u>mammals evolved from the pre-historic reptiles.</u>
