Actually, the 'homo' refers to 'same' (as in same sex), not to homo as in Homo Sapiens (man).
There are lots of other "homo-" words in which the root means "same" too: homogeneous, homoeopathic, homonym, homomorphism, homologue....
Not sure where *that* 'homo' comes from...
From the Latin for "man". The other "homo-" is from Greek.
Ah, yeah, of course. Heh - Nothing like a generalist mind that forgets all the details...
