Answer 1

The genus that has only one extant species is Homo.

Step-by-step explanation:

The genus that has only one extant (currently living) species is Homo. In the hominid family, our species, Homo sapiens (humans), is the only living species in this genus. Several earlier species of Homo existed but have since gone extinct. Homo sapiens is the sole surviving member of the genus Homo.
