Accepted Answer

The correct two-word Latin scientific name for modern humans is Homo sapiens. It is always capitalized and italicized in scientific writing. The incorrect spellings with lowercase "h" and "s" and misspelling of "neanderthalensis" do not refer to modern humans but to a extinct species of human ancestor.
