David Merrill | 4 comments I thought this group would be my best bet to find someone who knows Latin well enough to help me accurately name a sub-species of man for something I'm writing. Essentially it will be an evolutionary descendent of Homo Sapiens Sapiens. Would anyone be willing take a try at it?

Ewa (nesihonsu) | 7 comments I'm not that great with Latin but at least can give it a try but you shoud tell me more about your planned human subspecies or just how would you like to call it in English.

Dan's | 32 comments this seems highly interesting.

i am not any good with Latin, but let me remind ya that the other language that was used to shape the structure of european languages : ie Ancient greek, is quite usefull in naming , and well I can help, in any way possible to name that species of yours.
So I am at your disposal

David Merrill | 4 comments Thanks for the responses. We'll see how it goes. Essentially the sub-species, which I suspect may turn out to be the real deal, is Corporate Man. My thinking is the sub-species name will come out to be something like Homo Sapiens Corporatio. I'm thinking there may be two sub categories, Americanis and Germanis for American and German corporations. But since I don't know Latin, I'm just guessing on the derivation of the words, which is where I need your help.

Ewa (nesihonsu) | 7 comments Following your scheme I think it would most likely be:
Homo sapiens corporationis var. americanus
and Homo sapiens corporationis var. germanicus

I'm sure you've got this a lot closer to correct than I did. Thanks much for your help. When I have something concrete written using it, I'll post a link here.
