Excerpt: In biology, trinomial nomenclature refers to names for taxa below the rank of species. This is different for animals and plants: Latin. Literally meaning a three-term naming system. The evolution of birds is thought to have begun in the Jurassic Period, with the earliest birds derived from theropod dinosaurs. Birds are categorized as a biological class, Aves. The earliest known species of class Aves is Archaeopteryx lithographica, from the Late Jurassic period, though Archaeopteryx is not comm...
