[Taxacom] taxonomy article in the NYTimes: Naming the World

[Herbert Jacobson]

You're right Richard,

 

Genesis 2: 19-20

 

19 Now the LORD God had formed out of the ground all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. 

 

20 So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field. 



At least according to my Gideon which must have found it's way out of a hotel room someway and at sometime around the time of Adam.
