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.
The term "Homo" is capitalized because it is the genus name given to modern humans, denoting our biological classification. It is standard practice in scientific nomenclature to capitalize genus names.
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.
Ang mga uri ng Homo sapiens ay Homo sapiens idaltu, Homo sapiens neanderthalensis, at Homo sapiens sapiens. Sa kasalukuyan, tayo ay kabilang sa Homo sapiens sapiens.
That depends on the time period. We are Homo sapiens sapiens.
Yes, homo sapien sapiens is the same as homo sapiens. The term "homo sapien sapiens" specifically refers to modern humans, while "homo sapiens" is the binomial nomenclature for the human species.

In the scientist version of a species name, the genus name is capitalized, while the species name is not capitalized. For example, in the scientific name for humans, Homo sapiens, Homo (genus) is capitalized and sapiens (species) is not.
Homo sapiens(Modern humans are Homo sapiens sapiens, other subspecies include Homo sapiens idaltu.)
Homo sapiens are not extinct. Homo sapiens are humans. Modern humans, in fact.
Homo sapiens Homo sapiens
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 genus name for Homo sapiens is Homo.
Homo sapiens, human species name
Ang mga uri ng Homo sapiens ay Homo sapiens idaltu, Homo sapiens neanderthalensis, at Homo sapiens sapiens. Sa kasalukuyan, tayo ay kabilang sa Homo sapiens sapiens.
Homo sapiens are modern Humans. We are still around.
That depends on the time period. We are Homo sapiens sapiens.
Yes, homo sapien sapiens is the same as homo sapiens. The term "homo sapien sapiens" specifically refers to modern humans, while "homo sapiens" is the binomial nomenclature for the human species.
