The correct spelling is homosapien.

"Homosapien" is a term used to describe modern man {i.e. modern humans.} This comes directly from the latin Homo sapien....The Latin term literally means "wise man" or "knowing man." This is a term predominantly used by "evolution" scientists and historians to differentiate modern man from earlier forms of man, such as the Neanderthal {i.e. the Homo genus.}
