I got this idea while posting on the "Hobbit" thread and thought it worthwhile to scientifically test and develop.

Why let English-speaking paleoanthropologists arbitrarily label individual members of the human race with Latin terms such as Homo sapiens, Homo heidlebergensis, Homo erectus and Homo floresiensis when we can do that for ourselves?

I propose to call all living members of the human race Human speciens and all human fossils Human speciensis. That way, neo-Darwinist race theorists won't be able to associate any human fossils in Africa with African ape look-alikes.

Of course, neo-Darwinists can still call themselves Homo sapiens as long as they stop Latinizing our human ancestors as Homo this and Homo that.
