Talk:Human taxonomy

message: This would work well as a table in human article, but doesn't really deserve it's own article. Fallsend 01:43, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: It's really already there with the taxobox, though this page does add to that by explaining what each of the sections means and what it relates to.  It could be educational as an introduction to taxonomy and the evolutionary position of humans relative to other animals.  This page could actually be expanded by incorporating a historical perspective on how humans were treated taxonomically in the past.  It needs work, but it could be encyclopedic and worthwhile.  If we keep it, it should be moved to Human taxonomy (lowercase t).  --Aranae 06:29, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  A human possible classification 

message: I've written a similar article in my user area: User:Johntobey/Human_evolutionary_pedigree.  Perhaps its content could be included under Human_taxonomy#Extended_scientific_classification or published separately?  (Under what name?)  Differences from the hierarchy on this page:
* Images, time estimates, and links to sister taxa.
* Inline citations on times and alternative hypotheses.
* Extinct taxa excluded; focus on relationship to extant taxa.
* Reverse chronological order, starting with the familiar.

message: The Latin sapiens may mean wise, but it is more at palatable.
Either way, we still consider it MISNOMER. — Preceding unsigned comment added by  (talk • contribs) 
:An... interesting observation. Indeed sapio primarily means "to taste"; but then sapiens is "tasting", not "tasty" (as in Homo edulis, which might have been the species name chosen if taxonomy had been developed by sabre-tooth tigers). --dab (𒁳) 06:44, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sapiens  

message: Homo troglodytes redirects here, but is not mentioned in the body of the article. 
I'd be willing to take a shot at integrating a sentence or two (at least to explain how scientific names are proposed), but would defer to someone with expertise in the field.

thread_title:  Homo troglodytes

message: The taxonomic classification at the top of the article says that it is "following John Edward Gray (1825)." I have to wonder if that matches the currently conventional classification. If it is the same, the caption should say so. If it is not, we should get a figure which represents the current consensus and remove the existing one. Best, Wile E.

thread_title:  Up-to-date taxonomic classification 

message: Page watchers are invited to weigh in at the discussion at Talk:Carl Linnaeus#Type specimen regarding the type specimen of H. sapiens. Umimmak (talk) 09:06, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Linnaeus as type specimen for H. sapiens 

message: The article states, "Homo erectus is widely recognized as the species directly ancestral to Homo sapiens." This contradicts the Homo erectus article that states, "If considering Homo erectus in its strict sense (that is, as referring to only the Asian variety) no consensus has been reached as to whether it is ancestral to H. sapiens or any later human species." The statement in the Homo erectus article has a "citation needed" tag. The statement in this article has no citation directly after it. Are the sources of a following sentence meant to be a source for the statement that Homo erectus is widely recognized as the direct ancestor of Homo sapiens?
