Name for humans

Bardstown, Nelson County, Kentucky

The scientific name for today's humans is Homo sapiens sapiens.  This is from Latin for one who tastes.  So the idea is one who senses in the body.  Do we live our name?  Are we tasting fully now?
“I believe that life should be lived so vividly and so intensely that thoughts of another life, or of a longer life, are not necessary.”
-Marjory Stoneman Douglas

"The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation."
-Henry David Thoreau

The photograph is an ash tree on a bright day in Kentucky.
