The scientific name of human beings is Homo sapiens.

Homo is the genus, which includes humans and their close ancestors.
sapiens is the species, which refers to modern humans.
In binomial nomenclature (the system of naming organisms), the genus is written first, followed by the species. Both names are typically italicized or underlined when written.
