What does the "homo" mean in homosapiens, homoerectus, etc.?
Doesn't homo mean of one sex or type? As in these species would contain members of only 1 gender regardless of body type. So the whole species would be male sapiens or female erectus? Or does erection refer to men's genetalia and the sapiens refer to women's paps (milk making glands). Sap runs from trees as pap runs from breasts. Both are referred to in the Bible where it says humans are big trees of righteousness (if true religion). So sap/pap both refer to women only whereas other terms generally refer to only the male gender.
Further question, WHY did Australaius Pithicus suddendly become more than one sex. First name indicates location (Australia/New Zealand). Pi (pithy cussers) is a term for females. As in Pi (referring to uncalculated value of circle, Pie as in american pie referring to girls you could have sex with, etc).
Also of interest, Neandertals, were from scottish/Irish areas. They were often autistic (making them innocent and usually super smart), were red headed much of the time and also seem only to be women. Current picture I found is a picture of me when I was younger.
Seems source of male genetic code was that of the Ancients (Jehovah, his son Jesus and angels) as in Israelite geneology in OT as well as the fact that angels (also all male only. Job 38:7, 1:6, 7, 2:1, 2 esp. as found in old KJV Bible were sons only not daughters) wandered the earth and lived as humans. Such would interestinly enough, fulfil the requirement of Scientologists that life on earth was seeded by non-human races existing outside earth's solar system (Kolob or Deklab) to Mormons, but Gedra/Gedron system to me (Star Trek designation System 1, Alpha quadrant (Jehovah's reference to self as beginnning), Gedron system (our sun/stars name), spacial grid 001 (earth's position as first habitable planet of system needing to be engineered by angelic means through Michael (Jesus) thus rendering it an M class planet ready for deposit of life forms needing little or no supervision.

Latin for wise, huh? Reminds me of the Bible verses in 1 Cor. 1:18-31 about the valuelessness of the wisdom of humans and how few of them would ever be called to God's kingdom. Great food for thought there.
As Rev. 11:18 He will destroy those wise ones or humans who destroy the earth.

The men might have been savages (but then aren't they usually...they are commonly called dogs by most women nowadays...only homosexual males were called dogs in Bible).
Photo is clearly a photo of my family line. Autistic ones are innocent and often savants. Most women are at least slightly autistic to all the way (like me). It creates a genetic link and also telepathic train of thought.
So we are said to have mother hearing, eyes in the back of our head, can hear/smell you coming a mile away, read you like a book, know exactly what you are up to (even if in another room and we can't physically see you).
Gen. 6:1-4 the savages were all male, not female.
Bible refers to wicked as unreasoning beasts fit only to be caught and destroyed. Savages who can't see clearly and discern these things.

In this case, "homo" is just the Latin word for "man." Homo sapiens is what man calls himself to distinguish himself from other hominids (apes, gorillas, etc.) who are considered to be less wise, or sapient. Man considers himself to be the quintessence of wisdom. Erectus means (walking) upright, again in distinction with the other hominids, who bend over or crawl along the ground.
Words in Latin, as in other languages, may have more than one meaning, so it is necessary to get the right meaning when trying to determine correctly what is being said.

Homo means "man"
erectus means upright, as in "man who is upright"
sapiens means wise, as in "man who is wise"
Australopithicus is one word and means "great southern ape"
neadertalensis is the official species (or sub-species) designation for Neanderthals and comes from the region where the type specimen was found, the Neander Valley in Germany.
The bible is widely recognized, even among religious groups, as a book of moral values and not meant to be used in a literal interpretation.
As for the Star Trek talk, I have no clue what you're talking about as I'm a Star Wars person myself.

Is this question for real?
In Latin "homo" means "man" and "sapiens" means "wise."
Erectus means "upright." Homo Erectus is "upright man."
Australopithecus means "southern ape" in Latin, and has nothing to do with Australia.
Neanderthal specimens are found in Europe, the Middle East, and West Asia.

Neanderthal were not smart. The word "Neanderthal" in its meaning means "savage" or "inhuman"

As the first poster said homo is greek for "same".
however it is also latin for "human".
However in this context it is the name of the genus, including the one we humans belong to, homo sapiens
It is just a name to classify different species of that same line.
homo erectus is the first to walk upright, thus "erect".
The rest of your question was so confusing I even had the feeling you were trolling.
PS: forgot to say this, but "sapiens" means "wise" in latin, nothing to do with "sap"....

homo literally means "same". Thus we have the word homosexual meaning "same sexual" -- someone amorous to others of the same sex.
Homosapiens means "same species" as in the same species as us, i.e. humans.
I'm not 100% sure of the meaning of erectus. But if our English word "erect" is derived from the same latin root, then I'd guess it means being physically erect or upright. So I would guess homoerectus means "same upright" meaning a specy having the "same upright" gait as us humans.
