Answer to q. 2

Species are nested in the broader taxon of genus. Species on earth do not require humans for their
classification or their existence.
Concepts to Consider: Taxonomy is based on evolutionary relationships; the genus and species
taxons allow scientists to identify specific organisms. The genus is always capitalized and the species
is written in lower case. Both taxons are italicized. The genus may be abbreviated using only the first
letter, but the species is always written out. An organism must be identified using both the genus and
species taxons because some organisms have the same species name. Using the scientific
nomenclature rather than the common name of an organism allows all scientists to recognize and work
with the same organism. Species would exist whether we are here to name them or not; other taxa are
also based on evolutionary ties, at least by cladists and systematists using the classic evolutionary
approach
