In science, we take large numbers of disparate facts and reduce them to see patterns. We use the patterns to reduce the amount of information. It's the reason we name species and genera and families in biology. It's also the reason we have names for certain types of geological features and so on in other fields.

John Moody

People began to understand that with the acquisition of California the nation had obtained practically half a continent, of which the future possibilities were almost unlimited, so far as the development of natural resources and the genera production of wealth were concerned.

Of all mushrooms commonly consumed, oyster mushrooms in the genus Pleurotus stand out as exceptional allies for improving human and environmental health. These mushrooms enjoy a terrific reputation as the easiest to cultivate, richly nutritious and medicinally supportive.

George Gaylord Simpson

Every paleontologist knows that most new species, genera, and families, and that nearly all categories above the level of family appear in the record suddenly and are not led up to by known, gradual, completely continuous transitional sequences.

Abraham Lincoln

If there should prove to be one real, living Free State Democrat in Kansas, I suggest that it might be well to catch him and stuff and preserve his skin as an interesting specimen of that soon-to-be-extinct variety of the genus Democrat.

American President

Asa Gray

I accept extinction as best explaining disjoined species. I see that the same cause must have reduced many species of great range to small, and that it may have reduced large genera to so small, and of families.

Friedrich Nietzsche

To use the same words is not a sufficient guarantee of understanding; one must use the same words for the same genus of inward experience; ultimately one must have one's experiences in common.

German Philosopher

Otto Wallach

One would think that plants belonging to the same genus would always produce identical or at least similar oils. But this is by no means so.

German Scientist

Alfred Marshall

Producer's Surplus is a convenient name for the genus of which the rent of land is the leading species.

English Economist

Frankie Grande

I can pretty much name and rattle off the genus and species of all the bugs you see in everyday life.

In biological classification, genus ranks above species and below family, showing its position in classification hierarchy.

Hierarchy Level

Scientific names use Latin, so the genus part of a species' name is always capitalized and italicized or underlined.

Latin Names

Species within the same genus share many traits and can sometimes interbreed, unlike those in different genera.

Shared Traits

Outside biology, 'genus' refers to broad categories or types of anything, not limited to living things.

Broad Categories

It can categorize abstract ideas or concepts that are similar, helping to label and analyze them.

Abstract Concepts

In cultural discussions, 'genus' organizes items or ideas into identifiable groups or schools of thought.

Cultural Classifications

In logic, 'genus' doesn't refer to individual items but to the broader overarching categories they fall under.

Not Individual Items

A genus encompasses items that share key characteristics, which can be philosophical, physical, or functional attributes.
