Why are humans called homosapiens?

Answer 1

The term human comes from the old French humain, derived from the Latin hūmānus, which is the adjective of homō meaning "man" or "being from earth". It's possible that this latter comes from the creation story of Adam in Christianity who was made form the dust of the earth (Adam in Hebrew means 'dust' and 'man'). The 'being' part essentially comes from the fact of our existence, in the sense that we 'be' and are the only creature who can reflect on our 'being'. 'Being' also has connotations of having a soul and some believe we are also the only animal to have souls.

Answer 2

Well, there is no real reason. If you believe, you would believe that God created the world, but there was no particular reason in the Old or New Testaments. All we know is that God created the world and Earth and all the other parts of the universe were created by the Big Bang. If you find anyone else who answers this question and gives an answer, chances are (by "chances are" I mean "there are very, very low odds that this is true, and...") that answer is wrong.

Answer 3

Humans are called Homo sapiens because "Homo" means "man" in Latin, and "sapiens" means "wise" or "intelligent." The term was designated to reflect our species' abilities for abstract thought, reasoning, problem-solving, and language skills.

Answer 4

Humans are called homosapiens because they have evolved from single or same specie called Hazrat Adam(a.s.).

Answer 5

Because we call the species Humanity.
