Humans are scientifically classified as Homo sapiens, which is the species name for modern humans. Homo sapiens is the only extant (currently living) species within the genus Homo, which includes several extinct species such as Homo erectus and Neanderthals. The name Homo sapiens means "wise man" or "knowledgeable man" and was introduced by Carl Linnaeus in 1735. All living humans belong to this species, characterized by advanced cognitive abilities, complex social structures, and behaviors that distinguish them from other species, including extinct members of the Homo genus.

In summary, yes, humans are Homo sapiens.
