I strongly believe we should be Pan sapiens sapiens or chimps should be Homo sapiens paniscus/troglodyte Which would be reasonable if we didn't have to account for our extinct cousins:
- H. pan paniscus
- H. pan troglodyte
- H. habilis
- H. ergaster
- H. erectus
- H. heidelbergensis (or erectus heidelbergensis ?)
- H. sapiens neanderthalensis
- H. sapiens sapiens

What are you on about? Those fossils are all just defective H sapiens. By an amazing coincidence only defectives ever got fossilised up to a few 10ky ago.
