Answer: All the members of the human specie are referred to as Homo sapiens.

Explanation:

Homo sapiens refers to the species by which all human beings belong to. The name homo sapiens was applied in 1758 by Carolus Linnaeus who was the father of modern biological classification. The name 'Homo' is a Latin word which means 'humans' and 'sapiens' is derived from a Latin word which means 'wise'.

Human beings have been known to physically resemble the primates more closely than any other known living organism.
