Homo sapiens belong to the genus ________(a) Sapiens(b) Homo(c) Hominidae(d) MammaliaThis question was addressed to me in an international level competition.This interesting question is from Living World in chapter The Living World of Biology – Class 11

Answer» CORRECT option is (b) Homo

The explanation is: Since the FIRST word in a binomial NOMENCLATURE REFERS to the generic EPITHET and the second word to generic epithet, here Homo becomes the genus and Sapiens will be the genus. Homo sapiens belong to the family Homindae and class Mammalia.
