If we're being pedantic, all the binomial names in this thread have been incorrectly capitalized. Our species binomial name is Homo sapiens. Our particular subspecies is Homo sapiens sapiens. The Neanderthal man is classified as Homo sapiens neanderthalensis.
Binomial names are always spelt with only the genus capitalized.
Au contraire
Homo sapiens neadertalis
OK, I got the suffix wrong, but I still don't like that 'h'.
