What is the scientific name for human beings?

Humans, or human beings, are classified as bipedal primates belonging to the mammalian species Homo sapiens (Latin for "wise man" or "thinking man") under the family Hominidae (the great apes).[1] Humans have a highly developed brain capable of abstract reasoning, language, and introspection. This, combined with an erect body carriage that frees their upper limbs for manipulating objects, has allowed humans to make greater use of tools than any other species of animal.\n\nLike most primates, humans are by nature social. However, humans are particularly adept at utilizing systems of communication for self-expression and the exchange of ideas. Humans create complex social structures composed of co-operating and competing groups, ranging in scale from nations to individual families, and social interaction between humans has established a variety of social norms, rituals, traditions, values, laws, and ethics which form the basis of human society. Humans also have an appreciation for beauty and aesthetics which, combined with the human desire for self-expression, has led to cultural innovations such as art, literature and music.\n\nHumans are also noted for their desire to understand and influence the world around them, seeking to explain and manipulate natural phenomena through science, religion, philosophy and mythology. This natural curiosity has led to the development of advanced tools and skills; humans are the only species to build fires, cook their food, clothe themselves, and use numerous other technologies. It has also led to the exploration of spiritual concepts such as the soul and deities, and has factored into the self-awareness of humans, leading to self-reflection and the development of distinct personalities.\n\nHumans are commonly referred to as persons or people, and collectively as man, mankind, humankind, humanity, or the human race. Until the 20th century, human was only used adjectivally ("pertaining to mankind"). As an adjective, "human" is used neutrally (as in "human race"), but "human" and especially "humane" may also emphasize positive aspects of human nature, and can be synonymous with "benevolent" (as opposed to "inhumane"; cf. humanitarian).\n\nIn general, the word people is a collective noun used to define a specific group of humans. However, when used to refer to a group of humans possessing a common ethnic, cultural or national unitary characteristic or identity, "people" is a singular noun, and as such takes an "s" in the plural; (examples: "the English-speaking peoples of the world", "the indigenous peoples of Brazil"). A distinction is also maintained in philosophy and law between the notions "human being", or "man", and "person". The former refers to the species, while the latter refers to a rational agent.\n\nJuvenile male humans are called boys, adult males men (not to be confused with the gender-neutral man or mankind), juvenile females girls, and adult females women.\n\n[edit]\nBiology\nMain article: Human biology \n[edit]\nPhysiology and genetics\nMain articles: Human anatomy, Human physical appearance and Genetics of humans \n \nAn old diagram of a male human skeleton.Human body types vary substantially. Although body size is largely determined by genes, it is also significantly influenced by environmental factors such as diet and exercise. The average height of a North American adult female is 162 centimetres (5 feet 4 inches), and the average weight is 62 kilograms (137 pounds). Human males are typically larger than females: the average height and weight of a North American adult male is 175 centimeters (5 feet 9 inches) and 78 kilograms (172 pounds).\n\nHumans are capable of fully bipedal locomotion, thus leaving their arms available for manipulating objects using their hands, aided especially by opposable thumbs.

There is a definition used when considering something as .. human/noid. I can't remember it all but it's something like\n1. conscious of itself   \n as the number one definition. \nThey would be considered people.. just not "Human".. most likely they would be more advance than us and we would be the intellegent animals to them.

No, not obvious.  Human Beings are unique creations.  \nIf you were to agree with Creationists like me, you would be of the belief that Human Beings are created in the image of God and that we are not related to other creatures (especially since we are supposed to have dominion over the creatures of the earth).  \n\nHope that helps.

The species Homo sapiens (humans) have been around for approximately 40,000 years.\n\nHowever, aside from the species definition of a "human", creatures living ~1.8 million years ago would be certainly mistook as "human" by today's standards after a hot shower and a shave.

The first person I thought of was Gregor Mendel, but everyone already pretty much knew that plants were alive already, he just showed that they have genetics.

I don't know of any site that simply lists every scientific name.  Such a list would be millions of entries long.  Here are a few sites that might give you what you're looking for though:\n\nITIS (Integrated Taxonomic Information System) http://www.itis.usda.gov/index.html - Will give up-to-date information on the validity and usage of any scientific name that has been published.  You can also look up any scientific name if you know the common name.\n\nAnimal Diversity Web http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/index.html - University of Michigan's excellent resource of information about zoological diversity.  Gives not just systematic information, but general information on just about any animal you care to query.\n\nTree of Life Web Project http://tolweb.org/tree/ - Online project to map the phylogeny of all life on Earth.  Excellent source of systematic and taxonomic data.\n\nCuriosities of Biological Nomenclature http://home.earthlink.net/%7Emisaak/taxonomy.html - Gives numerous examples of weird, amusing and bizarre scientific names.  There are even sections for scientific names that are full of puns and other evidence of zoological 'humour'.

Anatomy ....Human anatomy or anthropotomy is a special field within anatomy. It studies gross structures and systems of the human body, leaving the study of tissues to histology and cells to cytology. The human body, like the bodies of all animals, consists of systems, that consist of organs, that consist of tissues, that consist of cells.\n\nSee History of anatomy for a history of anatomy, including human anatomy.\n\nPatholgy.... Pathology (from Greek pathos, feeling, pain, suffering; and logos, study of; see also -ology) is the study of the processes underlying disease and other forms of illness, harmful abnormality, or dysfunction. Within biology but also a branch of medicine, it means specifically the study and diagnosis of the structural and functional changes in cells, tissues and organs that underlie disease. Another name for pathology is laboratory medicine.\n\nPhysiology ..... Physiology (in Greek physis = nature and logos = word) is the study of the mechanical, physical, and biochemical functions of living organisms.\n\nPhysiology has traditionally been divided into plant physiology and animal physiology but the principles of physiology are universal, no matter what particular organism is being studied. For example, what is learned about the physiology of yeast cells can also apply to human cells.\n\nThe field of animal physiology extends the tools and methods of human physiology to non-human animal species. Plant physiology also borrows techniques from both fields. Its scope of subjects is at least as diverse as the tree of life itself. Due to this diversity of subjects, research in animal physiology tends to concentrate on understanding how physiological traits changed throughout the evolutionary history of animals.\n\nOther major branches of scientific study that have grown out of physiology research include biochemistry, biophysics, biomechanics, and pharmacology.

For all you people who said "human race" ... get it right, it's HUMAN SPECIES.\n\nThere are three primary races \n\nYellow - Asians\nBlack - Africans\nWhite - Europeans\n\nand two secondary races that some scientists consider offshoots of "yellow/Asian", but these two secondary races have enough distinct biological differences to comprise their own race:\n\nRed - American Indian\nAborigine - Asian Indian/Austrialian Islander

there are many kinds of elements and compounds in human body such as blood circulation, repiratory system,muscular system and productive system etc. for an example the function of the blood circulation is to circulate the blood to the whole body . the blood have a pigmen called hemoglobyn to bring along oxygen to the cell in our body. every cell need an oxygen to live. \n\nfurthemore ,our body is contain by many things such as leucosyte , good bacteria , ions , platlet , enzym , hormon , water , uric acid , vitamins, etc. each of this element have their function.
