<em><u>Scientists resumed observing and studying real plants and animals during the Renaissance. It is during the renaissance that the first use of using two words as scientific name was introduced.</u></em>
<em><u>Cordus was one of the first scientists of the Renaissance to advance taxonomy through first hand observations. </u></em>
Animals and species cannot adapt, evolve, or go extinct in a matter of weeks. Adaptation and evolution happen over the course of hundreds of thousands of years and extinction would be unlikely unless there was an extremely endangered species that died when the forest was cut down.
