Because taxonomists said so. Specie names usually just tell you that it is that specific specie, nothing really important other than that.
the species of humans is sapiens.
The species name for humans is sapiens. Our genus-species name is Homo sapiens.
homo sapiens sapiens
Homo Sapiens
Since humans can breath on land, they are mammals since their close relatives of chimpanzees
Within the genus homo there are several species. The exact number of these is debated but some include: * Homo sapiens sapiens (Our own species, anatomically modern humans) * Homo sapiens * Homo neanderthalis (commonly known as Neanderthal man and sometimes considered to be Homo sapiens neanderthalis) * Homo erectus * Homo habilis
A human's binomen is Homo sapiens, which is the scientific name for the species to which humans belong. "Homo" refers to the genus to which humans belong, and "sapiens" refers to the specific species within that genus.
Homo sapiens, human species name
The name "sapiens" in Homo sapiens represents the species level in taxonomy. It is the specific epithet that distinguishes modern humans from other species within the genus Homo.
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.
Homo Sapiens ARE normal humans. "Homo Sapiens" is the scientific taxonomical name for humans
No, there were many different prehuman species both at different times and living at the same time. Even as late as the last ice ages there were two different species of what could be called "modern humans" living at the same time: Homo Sapiens Neanderthalis and Homo Sapiens Sapiens. Finally the Homo Sapiens Neanderthalis went extinct, leaving only our species Homo Sapiens Sapiens.
