Homo Sapien I would guess

The word homo is Latin for "man", in the original sense of "human being", or "person". The word "human" itself is from Latin humanus, an adjective cognate to homo, both derived from PIE dhǵhem- "earth"

ummm....
Homo sapien? Homoerectus?
It's a slang term shortened from "homosexual". "Homo" itself means "self" or "modern man" (at least in terms of Homo sapiens).
I assume in this case, "homo" means "self" or "same". You have sexual feelings for someone like yourself (same gender)

It's from ancient Greek, and it means 'same', hence homosexual, homogeneous, etc.
