Your friend argues that there is no need for scientific names for organisms and that the existence of both scientific and common names for organisms will only confuse people. Explain why we have both.

Hi!

So there is a need for scientific names, and I'll tell you why.

Scientists and researchers need to have a "universal language", so they can communicate with others around the world. They use scientific names that normally have Latin origins.

The reason we use common names is so people don't get confused. Normal people won't go around saying they need to walk their canis lupus familiaris. They'd say they need to walk their dog.

Hope this helps ya out fam!
