Difference between Human evolution and Human taxonomy

Human evolution vs. Human taxonomy

Human evolution is the evolutionary process that led to the emergence of anatomically modern humans, beginning with the evolutionary history of primates – in particular genus Homo – and leading to the emergence of Homo sapiens as a distinct species of the hominid family, the great apes. Human taxonomy is the classification of the human species (systematic name Homo sapiens) within zoological taxonomy.
