Modren humans are known by the term "homo sapien(s)" (Latin, roughly, for "wise man"). They are the only surviving member of the "homo" species. See the Wikipedia ariticle for a more thorough defniition.
Modern humans belong to the group of hominids known as Homo sapiens.
There are no hominids that are identical to modern humans except modern humans ourselves. To be classified as a different species or sub species they have to be different. There are hominids that were very similar to modern humans. Neanderthals for example would not look completely out of place at a party. Even ancient hominids share many characteristics with modern humans. Upright walking stance and intelligent think all be it less than modern humans are common amongst many of our ancestors. Yea... So the answer is Cro-Magnon... noob...
One characteristic that was not common among early hominids was the ability to create complex tools and technology. This advanced cognitive ability is considered a defining feature of the Homo genus, which includes modern humans.
Hominids are primates. Ramapithecus is one possible primate candidate for a hominid ancestor.
Santorini is the modern name for Thera

Hominids
Yes, our official scientific name is Homo Sapiens. We are sapiens of the Homo genus.Yes, according to Binomial nomenclature, humans are Homo sapiens. In the past there were humans who weren't Homo sapiens. They belonged to other species in genus Homo. Their gradual evolution led to Homo sapiens, that is us.
Why is a "bush" or "tree" a more accurate than a line to describe how hominids developed into modern humans.

Scientists say that hominids diverged into two different creatures over time: Apes and humans
The term "hominid" comes from the Latin word "homo," which means 'human being' or 'man'. It reflects the fact that hominids are part of the family Hominidae, which includes modern humans and our closest extinct relatives, such as Neanderthals.
The first hominids appeared during the Miocene epoch, between 23 to 5 million years ago. This period marked the emergence of early hominids such as Ardipithecus and Australopithecus, ancestors of modern humans.
