You generally won't be able to. There are a few mono-specific genera but most genera have many species. What you are asking is similar to asking how do you know the model if you know the make of the car. Humans are one example of a mono-specific genus. If you were asked to tell the extant species of the genus Homo, the answer would be "sapiens". If you open it up to all species of Homo you would have the extinct Homo erectus and Homo habilis to choose from also.
