Quite a lot, really. H. sapiens has only been around for less than 100,000 years, but the world has been here for billions of years.
Yes, several species of hominids existed before Homo sapiens sapiens, including Homo neanderthalensis (Neanderthals), Homo erectus, and Homo habilis. These hominids were our evolutionary ancestors and lived at different points in history before the appearance of modern humans.
Australopithecines appeared on Earth before Homo habilis, Neanderthals, and Homo sapiens.
From my understanding, that would be homo sapiens sapiens, or "wise wise man." That's what our generation is called anyway. From that logic, I suppose "man" would be homo.
The two subspecies are Homo sapiens idaltu (which is thought extinct) and Homo sapiens sapiens. Some sources show Neanderthals (Homo neanderthalensis) as a subspecies (Homo sapiens neanderthalensis).Similarly, the discovered specimens of the Homo rhodesiensis species have been classified by some as a subspecies (Homo sapiens rhodesiensis), but these last two subspecies classifications are not widely accepted by scientists.

Homo sapiens(Modern humans are Homo sapiens sapiens, other subspecies include Homo sapiens idaltu.)
Homo sapiens, human species name
Homo sapiens are not extinct. Homo sapiens are humans. Modern humans, in fact.
Homo sapiens Homo sapiens
The genus name for Homo sapiens is Homo.

Binomial name for man: Homo Sapiens

That depends on the time period. We are Homo sapiens sapiens.
