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.
They didn't! You see homo sapien means "modern human", so that must mean us!
The genus (always capitalized) and species (never capitalized) are someties followed by a third word which is the subspecies or race.Here Homo sapiens is the genus and species.
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.
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.

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
Homo Sapiens
the species of humans is sapiens.
