Etymology: < scientific Latin Homo sapiens ( Linnaeus Systema naturæ (ed. 10, 1758) I. 20) < classical Latin homō sapiēns wise or rational person < homō homo n.¹ + sapiēns sapient adj.

The biological species that comprises modern man, including all humans alive today (regardless of race or variety) together with a number of closely related extinct forms; the human race; (colloquial) an individual of this species, a human being.Anatomically modern humans (often named Homo sapiens sapiens) first appeared about 200,000 years ago. The extent of the species Homo sapiens is disputed; several early forms traditionally referred to as ‘archaic Homo sapiens’ are now often regarded as separate species.
