Let me know if I=3DB4m wrong, but I never saw in a dictionary a defin=
ition o=3D
f=20
all names of Linnean system. Even when linnean nomenclature have=20
been commonly used for scientific community for more than two=20
centuries. When I=3DB4m said dictionaries do not include definitions =
of=20
linnean names, it includes names which are very known as "Homo". In=
=20
the dictionary of the "Real Academia Espa=3DF1ola de la lengua" ("the=
=20
dictionary" for Spanish speakers) the only definition for homo is: a =
prefi=3D
x=20
which meants equal to (my own bad translate to English). So, Must I=
=20
assume that most Spanish speaker do not understand when somebody=20
said Homo (referring to the genus to which humans belong) just=20
because the dictionary do not defines it in this sense?
Apologize by my bad English
