Why we all human beings have the same scientific name of homo sepiens, though our appearances are much different throughout the world. As elephants (elephus maximus, laxodonta africana) have different scientific names. So with many other animals and birds have different scientific name.
Why we humans have the same scientific name?
Because species are defined by the ability to interbreed and produce viable progeny that can still breed. A horse and a donkey can mate to give a mule, but the resulting mule is sterile.
A better question is why dogs and wolves have different names scientifically.
Reply:Domestic dogs and wolves actually do have the same generally accepted taxonomic identification. They are both members of the species canis lupus.
The domestic dog can be identified as the subspecies canis lupus famaliaris and the wolf can be identified as the subspecies canis lupus lupus. Report Abuse
Reply:Beatz is right. species are defined by ability to interbreed between each other. Dogs of different breeds also look different, but still can produce mixed-breed offspring.
