I will say Homo Sapien for Humans.. Those that mind that are just scared of the term Homo.. Its why when Americans were polled on whether "Homo Sapiens" should be saved from extinction and the overall response was no....

You are absolutely wrong. The reason people mind is because you are DOWNGRADING our species. Human is suppose to be the name of our species. And apparently you call Neanderthals by their common name but you refer to your species by its scientific name instead of its common name. As if you had some sort of pro-Neanderthal agenda on your hands.

Stop calling us Homo sapiens. Call us HUMANS. WE ARE HUMANS. NEANDERTHALS ARE NOT HUMANS.

HUMANS are our species.

Yes am right. You just deny the truth. Stop anthropomorphising non-human creatures.

Homo=/=Human

Human is the name of H. Sapiens

Homo is the genus. Neanderthals are not humans.

No, YOU stop it.

Anthropomorphism is the attribution of human traits, emotions, or intentions to non-human entities. Which is what your doing with Neanderthals and other extinct hominids. They are not humans. We are.

Face it.

"Basilosaurus would be reptiles even though they are whales (mammals)"

Basilosaurus, with its elongated body, was believed to be a reptile when it was first identified, hence the name.
It was only realized years later they WERE - not are, whales.
You don't know this?

Still Homo is still the genus human still, and neanderthals were not too long ago considered a subspecies or variant of sapiens.

1. You missed my point. My point is that scientific names are not to be taken seriously. The same way basilosaurus is not a reptile despite saurus meaning lizard, thevsame way neanderthals are not humans even if Homo means human.
Human is the name selected for our species only.

2. How do you know so much about paleontology? I thought you only cared about politics.

Correct, "Human and Homo are not synonimous [sic]," they're the same word in two different languages.

Tyranno means Tyrant and Rex means king. Doed that mean that T. rexes where monarchs and tyrants irl?

Lion fish are not literally half lion.

Neanderthals are not human. Homo is the genus whioe Human is the species.

Homo neanderthalis

It used to be Homo sapiens neanderthalis, but not anymore

Hope ths clears things up!

Human and Homo are not synonimous. Human is the common name of H. Sapiens.

Where is the evidence for your claims?

Homo is the genus man. That's what it means.
You can look this up you know

- oh, that's right, you did and altered the text when you c/p'd it.

"Thats what it means"

Again, saurus means lizard. By logic Basilosaurus would be reptiles even though they are whales (mammals), scientific names are not to be taken literally.

Humans are the species H. sapiens. Neanderthals and Humans are different species.

Neanders are not human.

Human and Homo are different things

We are Humans. Call us Humans
