Modren humans are known by the term "homo sapien(s)" (Latin, roughly, for "wise man"). They are the only surviving member of the "homo" species. See the Wikipedia ariticle for a more thorough defniition.
Homo sapiens sapiens
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...
Homo Sapiens (humans)
The major anatomical difference between hominids and the apes is that the foramen magnum of hominids islocated at the bottom of the skull.
Hominids are primates. Ramapithecus is one possible primate candidate for a hominid ancestor.

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.
The group of hominids that were most similar to modern humans in skull and tooth structure and height were the Cro-Magnon people. Cro-Magnon, an early form of Homo sapiens, lived in Europe around 40,000 to 10,000 years ago. They had a similar anatomy to modern humans, including a high forehead, prominent chin, and tall stature.
Why is a "bush" or "tree" a more accurate than a line to describe how hominids developed into modern humans.

Scientists say that hominids diverged into two different creatures over time: Apes and humans
Homo Sapiens (humans)
The earliest known hominids include species like Sahelanthropus tchadensis, Ardipithecus ramidus, and Australopithecus afarensis. These species lived in Africa around 6 to 7 million years ago and are considered early ancestors of humans.
Since we, homo sapiens, are hominids, hominids have not ended.
