What is a homo sapien?
Homo sapiens is the scientific name for the modern human species. We are the only surviving species of the genus Homo, and have been around for approximately 300,000 years. Homo sapiens evolved in Africa and gradually spread across the globe, replacing other hominid species such as Neanderthals and Denisovans.

Homo sapiens have a number of physical and behavioral characteristics that distinguish us from other animals. These include the ability to walk upright on two legs, a large and complex brain, the use of language and advanced tools, and a capacity for abstract thought and self-awareness.

As a species, Homo sapiens have been incredibly successful, and have transformed the planet in countless ways. However, our success has also come at a cost, as we have caused significant environmental damage and are facing numerous challenges as a result of our own actions.
