In taxonomy, Homo sapiens is the only extant human species. The name is Latin for "wiseman" and was introduced in 1758 by Carl Linnaeus...

H. sapiens
Extinct species of the genus Homo include Homo erectus, extant during roughly 1.9 to 0.4 million years ago, and a number of other species (by some authors considered subspecies of either H. sapiens or H. erectus). H. sapiens idaltu (2003) is a proposed extinct subspecies of H. sapiens.
The age of speciation of H. sapiens out of ancestral H. erectus (or an intermediate species such as Homo antecessor) is estimated to have taken place at roughly 315,000 years ago. Sustained archaic admixture is known to have taken place both in Africa and (following the recent Out-Of-Africa expansion) in Eurasia, between about 100,000 to 30,000 years ago.
The term anatomically modern humans[2](AMH) is used to distinguish H. sapiens as having an anatomy consistent with the range of phenotypes seen in contemporary humansfrom varieties of extinct archaic humans. This is useful especially for times and regions where anatomically modern and archaic humans co-existed, for example, in Paleolithic Europe.
