Homo-sapiens

The Homo in Homosapiens is the latin for homo which means man (pronounced hom-o). The Homo in Homosexual is the greek for homo which means 'the same' (pronounced home-o)

They're both pronounced "home-o." Latin is a phonetic language tied to the letters used in every word.

They (the prefixes) are homophones.

If that were the case, surely "homophones" would be pronounced "home-o-phones". Pretty sure it's "hommo-phones".

Everyone I know pronounces it "home-o-phones."

I had a guy in my class who refused to call humans homo sapiens because he would not be called gay in any way.

It's also Latin for man.

And since we use Latin to name species, homo sapiens we became. "Wise men" if my memory is correct. I don't have my Latin book on me now though, so I may be wrong.

dont worry, you are correct sir, but the people who named the animals with the latin words dont decline them according to the name, so you kind of have to just translate and guess.

No. Homo sapiens is what species we are. There are two subspecies within this grouping, Homo sapiens sapiens, and Homo sapiens neanderthalensis

So when we go back in time, we have a step down?
We rather took a step up.

Nope, a step down would be Homo heidelbergensis. We're Homo Sapiens.

No. we are homo sapien sapiens
homo sapiens had larger brains than we did, but weren't as intelligent because of the nourishment requirement to run their body, thus we evolved into a more efficient model which is genetically different.
