Míra rozumnosti hominis sapientis sapientis se za posledních patnáct - dvacet tisíc let nezvýšila zřejmě ani o chlup, jen úroveň konceptualizace je vyšší, o něco preciznější, úměrně bohatému rozšíření našich technických znalostí a vědeckých vědomostí.

1993, Egon Bondy, Filosofické eseje: Juliiny otázky. “Doslov.” (in Czech), DharmaGaia, →ISBN, page 53:

Loin de là, nombre d’homines sapientes sapientes cultivés, mais non versés, par exemple, dans les mathématiques, ne sont pas en mesure d’énoncer de façon rigoureuse les propriétés fondamentales du nombre π (bien que sachant, pertinemment, que ce nombre π a joué un rôle capital dans notre patrimoine culturel, tout au long des siècles).[…]Pourtant, si l’on songe aux humanistes d’antan, la plupart des héritiers du XXᵉ siècle de la Petite Lucie, des ERASMUS, des PASCAL, des D’ALEMBERT, des DIDEROT... considérés comme des homines sapientes sapientes cultivés semblent se contener d’un horizon culturel bien étroit au regard de certains de leurs ancêtres.[…]Ne doit-on pas glorifier des Homines sapientes sapientes emblématiques géniaux capables d’apporter des contributions dans des domaines divers ?

1995, Etudes de linguistique appliquée (in French), pages 21, 27, 28:

Far from it, many cultivated Homo sapiens sapiens, but not versed in, for example, mathematics, aren't able to state in a rigorous fashion the fundamental properties of the number π (although knowing, pertinently, that this number π has played a major role in our cultural heritage throughout the centuries). […] However, if we think about the humanists of yesteryear , most of the 20th century inheritors of Little Lucy, Erasmuses, Pascals, D'Alemberts, Diderots... considered as cultured homo sapiens sapiens, seem to content themselves with a very narrow cultural horizon compared to some of their ancestors. […] Should we not glorify the brilliant emblematic homo sapiens sapiens capable of making contributions in diverse fields?

etymon

A productive unit can be a man, a more or less wide and/or permanent social group, a whole culture; the widest productive unit one can think of is mankind as the totality hominum sapientium.

1974, Ferruccio Rossi-Landi, “Linguistics and Economics”, in Current Trends in Linguistics, volume XII (in English), part eight, “Linguistics and Adjacent Arts and Sciences”, The Hague: Mouton & Co., section “The homology between linguistic production and material production”, subsection “After utensils and sentences”, subsubsection “Tenth level: Global production”, page 1888:

Inter species Novae-Caledoniae singularis ob folia parva, chartacea, marginibus valde recurvis (et in sicco et in vivo), ita ut folium quodque pustulam ruptam in calce Hominis sapientis referat.

1992, Bulletin du Muséum national d’histoire naturelle (in Latin), page 197:

Unique among New Caledonian species in its small chartaceous leaves with strongly recurved margins (both in the living plant and in dried specimens) so that each leaf looks like a burst blister on the heel of Homo sapiens.

One may only suppose that the roots of the “thinking” man go back to the anthropoids from Oligocene, while apes and homonidae were only lateral shells of the anthropogenesis. The same refers to the subspecies of homonidae, which were also lateral shells, replaced by hominis sapientis.

2007, Bronisław Bombała, “In Search of the Sources of Humanity”, in Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka, editor, Phenomenology of Life from the Animal Soul to the Human Mind (Analecta Husserliana: The Yearbook of Phenomenological Research; XCIII) (in English), book I, “In Search of Experience”, supersection “Sources of Humanity”, Springer, →ISBN, section “In Search of the Starting Point of the Anthropogenesis”, page 110:

Nothingness and eternity can be and indeed are obsessively attempted to be imagined – postulated and/or presumed to exist; they can’t however be visualized. Both stay tenaciously beyond the reach of their sensual equipment as much as remaining in-excisable and un-eliminable from the homini sapienti ruminations.

Do we have to see in this making of tools only a particular adaptation, analogous, for example, to birds making nests? Or are degrees of intelligence and significant consciousness already present in certain types of Australopitheci?

2000, Bernard Michollet, “Evolution and Anthropology. Human Beings as the ‘Image of God’”, in Bas van Iersel, Christoph Theobald, Hermann Häring, editors, Evolution and Faith (Concilium; 2000/1) (in English), London: SCM Press, →ISBN, section III (The Dialogue with Faith and Theology), page 81:

Australopithecus was probably already adapted for bipedal walking, but its brain was not much larger than a chimp’s, so there was still a lot of obstetric leeway. The pelvis was now a different shape, however, and we think that baby Australopitheci may have been born with their head ‘sideways’ relative to their mother’s body, with their nose pointing towards their mother’s left or right hip.

As listed above, in superficial mycoses infection is localised to the skin, the hair, and the nails. An example is "ringworm" or "tinea", an infection of the skin by a dermatophyte. Ringworm refers to the characteristic central clearing that often occurs in dermatophyte infections of the skin. Dermatophyte members of the genera Trycophyton, Microsporum and Epidermophyton are responsible for the disease. Tinea can infect various sites of the body, including the scalp (tinea capitis), the beard (tinea barbae) the foot (tinea pedis: "athlete's foot") and the groin (tinea cruris). All occur in the United Kingdom although tinea infections, other than pedis, are now rare.

A taxonomic genus within the family Arthrodermataceae – fungi that are parasitic in the skin and hair follicles and include several causing ringworm.


Epidermophyton

Strepsirrhini

From Ancient Greek στρέψις (strépsis, “a turning [inward]”) + ῥινός (rhinós, “nose”), referring to the sinuous (comma-shaped) appearance of the nostrils on the rhinarium (wet nose).

Those primates with a philtrum and wet rhinarium have therefore been classified together as Strepsirrhini (Geoffroy, 1812) because of the structural similarity of these two characters in the nasal area. (Strepho means 'turned inward' in Greek and rhinos is Greek for 'nose.') In those primates whose snout is reduced in length and whose incisors are positioned close to each other, the rhinarium disappears. This is the case for tarsiers and anthropoids among primates, and therefore they were labeled together as Haplorhini (haplo means 'simple, single' in Greek).
