Homo sapiens sapiens to differentiate us from Neandertal
To expand a little; some time ago modern man and Cro-Magnon man, considered the same species, were termed Homo sapiens and Neanderthal man was considered a separate species (but same genus) Homo neandertalensis. After some thought it was decided that we and the Neanderthals were the same species but different sub-species; thus Homo sapiens sapiens and Homo sapiens neandertalensis. I've been out of touch for a while but I believe that we have gone back to believing we are different species again.
