Question

I'm in AP history and I need the definintion of Homo Sapien Sapien. I can't find a clear one any where! Help?!

Answer 1

The modern species of humans, the only extant species of the primate family Hominidae

Answer 2

A Homo Sapien Sapien is a modern-day human, and a Homo Sapien is a prehistoric human. (like a caveman)

Answer 3

I think the human races need to be reassigned as sub-species,a variation of a single species that has characteristics distinct from other groups of the same species,but are able to reproduce viable offspring if whenever given a chance to do so.

Answer 4

A Homo sapiens sapiens, literally means, "Man that knows he is wise", it was given to us, by ourselves, to distinguish us from the "sub-species", Homo sapiens neanderthalensis (Wise man from Neander Valley)...
