Okay, so humans are homo sapiens right?

"Homo" is the genus

"Sapiens" is the species

No two organisms with the same genus can produce fertile off-spring, so a human couldn't mate with something else that was "Homo", but we could with something that was sapiens. That's why a mule is non-fertile- because horses and donkeys only share the same genus.
