Yes, our official scientific name is Homo Sapiens. We are sapiens of the Homo genus.Yes, according to Binomial nomenclature, humans are Homo sapiens. In the past there were humans who weren't Homo sapiens. They belonged to other species in genus Homo. Their gradual evolution led to Homo sapiens, that is us.
Hominids are erect bipedal primate mammals that evolved into modern human beings. The earliest hominid was the Ardipithecus Kadabba, this species lived between 5. 8 and 5. 2 million years ago.
The difference between native and non-native species is that native species are from that area and non-native species are not from that area.
The genus and species of an organism are the final specific categories that an organism can be placed in. The genus contains the organism itself, and often it contains closely related species. The species name is unique to each species, and sets it apart from the other related species in the same genus.

Homo sapiens are the only existing species of hominids in the world.

Modern humans belong to a group called hominids. Homo sapiens, or humans, are the only surviving species of hominids. Hominids are part of a larger group of animals called primates, which includes monkeys and apes. Humans are also mammals.
it has led to the disappearance of some important species,
It would be fair to say that part of the evolutionary adaptation of hominids is some degree of intellectual activity. Hominids think about things much more than most other species do. Worms do not become bored because they do not have enough mental activity to be either interested or disinterested in anything, they just follow patterns of instinctual behavior. Hominids think.
For those of you who accept the evolutionary explanations of biology, the reason why the human species, H. sapiens, arose in Africa, is that there was a series of other hominid species such as Australopithecus Afarensis who created the necessary evolutionary sequence. You might then ask why any hominids were in Africa, rather than some other continent. It is true that the forests of Africa are a suitable habitat for hominids, but the difference between Africa and South America, for example, is not that great. The appearance of hominids in Africa was essentially an accident of evolutionary history. Hominids did nothaveto arise in Africa, but they did.
There are no hominids that are identical to modern humans except modern humans ourselves. To be classified as a different species or sub species they have to be different. There are hominids that were very similar to modern humans. Neanderthals for example would not look completely out of place at a party. Even ancient hominids share many characteristics with modern humans. Upright walking stance and intelligent think all be it less than modern humans are common amongst many of our ancestors. Yea... So the answer is Cro-Magnon... noob...
