It's a common name. Here's a website which discusses the origin of the word "human."

The scientific name for modern human beings is homo sapiens sapiens [homo (man), sapiens sapiens (twice wise)].

Common name. It's different in different languages or areas.
The scientific name would be Homo sapiens.
Using a two-part scientific name is binomial nomenclature.
Polynomial has nothing to do with it.
