Aren't all species of the genus Homo called humans?
- iso8859-1 11y agoNo. But scientists can't even agree if Neanderthals belong within Homo sapiens: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/evolution/are-neanderthals-human.html http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/evolution/are-neanderthals-huma... I assume this article would not have been written if all homos were human.
- thomasfoster96 11y agoAh, right, I must be confused then. I've seen a lot of texts refer to Homo sapiens sapiens as 'anatomically modern humans', so I assumed that other species of the genus Homo were also commonly called 'humans'.
