Why are neanderthals sometimes given the name homo sapiens neanderthals?
Neanderthals are given the name Homo sapiens neanderthalensis to show their classification within the same genus Homo as modern humans (Homo sapiens), but as a distinct species. The inclusion of Homo sapiens in their name emphasizes their close evolutionary relationship with modern humans.
Were neanderthals human beings?
No, this is a common misunderstanding. Neanderthals did live at the same time as our ancestors did and they also shared a common ancestry with modern humans however, they are not an ancestor of modern humans. They are in fact a different species.
Why is Homo in Homo sapiens capitalized?
This is the convention in the system of binomial nomenclature (two-part names) developed by Linnaeus in the 18th century. In the Linnaean system, the first word of a binomial names the genus (a group of similar and closely related species) and is capitalized, and the second word names the species within that genus. The genus name, but not the species name, can be abbreviated to its first letter. In some cases the binomial may be extended by the addition of a subspecies name.In current anthropological thinking, the genus Homocontains modern humans (H. sapiens) as well as the extinct species H. erectus, H. habilis and H. eraster, and perhaps several others whose status is still in dispute. Neanderthal Man is variously considered a separate species, H. neanderthalensis, or a subspecies of H. sapiens. In the latter case, Neanderthals are known as H. sapiens neanderthalensis, and modern humans as H. sapiens sapiens.
Species is thought to be a direct ancestor of both Homo sapiens and Homo erectus?
The common ancestor of Homo sapiens and Homo erectus is thought to be Homo heidelbergensis, which lived around 700,000 years ago. This species is believed to have given rise to both Homo sapiens and Homo erectus through divergent evolution.
What Approximately how long have Homo sapiens been on earth according to the fossil record?
So far it is believed that Homo Sapiens have been on Earth for approximately 200,000 to 250,000 years. However this estimation could change at any given time, should further evidence of Homo Sapiens being around earlier be found, which at the moment is looking unlikely.Although Homo Sapiens showed up around 200,000 - 250,000 years ago, civilisation as we know it has only been around for about 6,000 years. So Homo Sapiens were around a long time before they became the civilised variant that we know today. Industrialisation of civilisation only begun around 215 years ago (from 2015) in the 1800's.

If you are given a scientific name written in binomial nomenclature how would you know if tow organisms ae in the same genus?
If two organisms have the same genus within their scientific names, they would share the first part of the binomial nomenclature. For example, if the scientific names are Homo sapiens and Homo neanderthalensis, both share the genus name Homo, indicating they belong to the same genus.
