Anotations

Scope note:

Members of the species to which all modern human beings belong. Homo sapiens is one of several species grouped into the genus Homo, but it is the only one that is not extinct. The name "Homo sapiens" was applied in 1758 by Carolus Linnaeus, who distinguished humans from their close cousins, the apes. The large fossil record now contains numerous extinct species that are much more closely related to humans than to today's apes and that were presumably more similar to us behaviorally as well.
