In English, '''homo''' can refer to the biological genus ''Homo'' (as in ''Homo sapiens''), it can be derogatory slang for a [[homosexual]] man, or, as a prefix in compound words, it can mean "the same," as in ''homogenized'' or ''homophone.''

The classification of the genus ''Homo'' is controversial among scientists, because so much of what is usually thought to define humans is related to behavior and the use of language, which cannot be deduced from skeletal remains. It is also a point of controversy between evolutionists and creationists.

The [[genus]] which includes modern humans - ''[[Homo sapiens]]'', the genus Homo species is thought to have been in existence for approximately two million years, while our species, including the archaic H. sapians, has occupied only the last 80,000 years or so, H. Hablis 2.1 to 1.7-1.5 million year, H. erectus 1.5 million years to circa 90,000 years and H. Sapians from 80,000 years to the present.
