Carol: "Well, no, not like you and me. We're different. We're Homo superior, but we don't like to call ourselves that so we call ourselves the Tomorrow People."
1988, Peter Nicholls, The Science in Science Fiction, Crescent Books, →ISBN, Men and Supermen:
It is not surprising, therefore, that speculative writers should assume that Homo superior — the species destined to replace our own — should do so on account of being even smarter and even handier.

_Homo superior_ -- a silly name for mutantkind, since they're not a separate species, and one the X-Men should be actively be publically disavowing, due to the obvious negative PR effects it could have on the _Homo not-so-superior's_ perceptions of mutants -- has been the official Marvel terminology for mutants for some time. Myself, I prefer _Homo novus_, but then what do I know?
Wade: "It's the tyranny of evolution. Sooner or later, you have a species that will have a genetic or technological advantage and that species will always conquer a species without that advantage. Carthage, the triumph of the Homo sapiens over the Neanderthal showed us that. Now what do we have? We have Homo superior versus Homo sapiens. On a level playing field, Homo superior wins every time."
2000 August, Walter Mosley, “Extreme Fan”, in Vibe, volume 8, number 6, page 84:
He called mutants Homo Superiors to underscore the difference between mutants and the rest of mankind—puny Homo sapiens.

Another alien probe subjects astronaut John Crichton to evolutionary experiments in an episode of Farscape, "My Three Crichtons" (2000), but they not only produce a cold, intellectually superior Homo superior, but also a dim, emotional Homo neanderthalensis.

In the more explicit Prey (1997), bio-anthropologist Dr Sloan Parker discovers a new strain of human DNA with a 6% differential from homo sapiens, 'homo superior' — a new species.
2005 November 14, Eliot Coweye, “Does the homo superiour[sic] have the right to kill the homo sapiens?”, in alt.philosophy[3] (Usenet), message-ID <1132016136.706860.269620@f14g2000cwb.googlegroups.com>:
I think there are two species of humans on this planet : The super-intelligent ones, the leaders, the geniuses, people like me - the homo superior.¶ And the dumb ape-like masses, the homo sapiens.
2006, John R. Cook, “The Age of Aquarius”, in British Science Fiction Television: A Hitchhiker's Guide, I.B.Tauris & Co, →ISBN, page 98:
As a supercomputer constructed by leading 'Tomorrow Person' John (Nicholas Young), with the help of the Galactic Federation, TIM has the role of assisting the homo superiors in this fight from their secret base — appropriately called the 'lab' — in a disused tunnel of the London Underground.
