The word "homo sapien" in greek means "wise man" or "thinking man". This was to make the mental capacity different to an earlier human species, such as, say, "homo erectus" or "the walking man". These creatures could walk and act like us, but weren't as smart or social. So modern humans get the homo sapien title because of this.
