Homo sapiens is believed to have evolved as a distinct species in Africa, specifically in regions such as East Africa and the Great Rift Valley, around 300,000-200,000 years ago. Fossil and genetic evidence support the theory that modern humans originated in this region before spreading to other parts of the world.
There is no evidence to suggest that Homo sapiens sapiens (modern humans) have become extinct. In fact, modern humans are the only surviving species in the Homo genus.
The term "sapiens" in Homo sapiens sapiens means "wise" in Latin. The addition of "sapiens" to "Homo sapiens" distinguishes modern humans from earlier species within the Homo genus, emphasizing our advanced cognitive abilities.
The only living species of Homo sapiens is Homo sapiens sapiens, which includes all modern humans. Other species within the genus Homo, such as Homo neanderthalensis and Homo habilis, are now extinct.
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.
Australian aborigines, like all modern human populations, belong to the Homo sapiens sapiens species. Neanderthals were a separate species of hominins that went extinct around 40,000 years ago.
Homo sapiens, human species name
Homo sapiens Homo sapiens
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
The genus and species of humans is Homo sapiens.

Homo is the Genus and Sapiens is the Species.

Homo sapiens sapiens.
Homo is the Genus and Sapiens is the Species.
Fortunately, homo sapiens have not died out. That is because we ourselves are homo sapiens ("homo sapien" refers to the genus and species of humans-genus and species are simply terms used in "Taxonomy", that is, the classification of living things.)
The only living species of Homo sapiens is Homo sapiens sapiens, which includes all modern humans. Other species within the genus Homo, such as Homo neanderthalensis and Homo habilis, are now extinct.
Homo sapiens are human beings. So technically everywhere!!!!
