Reply #50: Right. "A particular" = "single".

The more complete truth is that I quoted excerpts from 1 page of search results of "homo" at Wikipedia, and cited http://en.wikipedia.org. As you can see, http://en.wikipedia.org is not a particular article. It is the entire site.

You are cherry picking and misrepresenting the facts. The particular article you quoted doesn't support your point that there are members of the homo genus who are not considered human. That particular article supports my point, as do the other dozen or so I either quoted from or linked to.

hu·man
n.
1. A member of the genus Homo and especially of the species H. sapiens.

It's simple.
If you choose not to only use the word human to describe modern, non-extinct species of humans, that's your personal choice, not a scientific one.
