<span>If I were attempting to date a rock sample that I suspect to be incredibly old, i would use radioactive isotopes with a long half life. When dating rocks and fossils to discover approximately how old they are, radioisotope dating is used on igneous rocks found near fossils. Things like Uranium 235, which is an unstable radioactive isotope of elements, decays at a constant rate over time so can be useful in determining age.</span>
People because it’s for fun meaning the people use it
That is an oddly phrased question. The scientific names we use now cam from the system of classification that spawned the way we still classify organisms today, started by Carolus Linnaeus. So the better question might be, how did classification impact scientific names?
Of course, in all of the charges that go on in taxonomy, the answer o your question might be that, as the systems and ranks became more complicated, the additions had been made farther up the hierarchy, as to not affect the genus and species levels so much, as those levels are what we use for scientific names.
