Homo Sapiens Research Paper

"The term homo sapiens is a misnomer." -Mr. Alex
Sapiens means "wise man" in Latin, and refers to humans' exceptional ability to think and reason, compared to all the other animal species. Are we humans as smart as we are made out to be, though? Human intelligence's superiority strongly depends on what it is being compared to.
