Understanding Homo
In the field of biology, the term "homo" is commonly used as a prefix to denote the genus to which humans belong, known as Homo sapiens. The genus Homo is part of the family Hominidae, which also includes our closest evolutionary relatives, such as Homo neanderthalensis (Neanderthals) and Homo erectus.
Key Points to Remember:
- Homo is the genus to which humans belong.
- Homo sapiens is the specific species of humans.
- Other species within the Homo genus include Homo neanderthalensis and Homo erectus.
- The family Hominidae includes the genus Homo and other closely related species.
Study Guide
Here are some key questions and concepts to help you study the topic "homo":
- What is the genus to which humans belong?
- Provide examples of other species within the Homo genus.
- What is the family that includes the genus Homo?
- How does Homo sapiens differ from other species within the Homo genus?
Make sure to review the key points and be prepared to explain the significance of the Homo genus in the context of human evolution.

LIFE SCIENCE
From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes
Create representations to explain the unique and diverse life cycles of organisms other than humans (e.g., flowering plants, frogs, butterflies), including commonalities such as birth, growth, reproduction, and death.
Unity and Diversity
Construct an argument from evidence to explain the likelihood of an organism’s ability to survive when compared to the resources in a certain habitat (e.g., freshwater organisms survive well, less well, or not at all in saltwater; desert organisms survive well, less well, or not at all in woodlands).
Create models that illustrate how organisms and their habitats make up a system in which the parts depend on each other.
