The most basic creative act that distinguishes our species from all other animal species is our ability to make 'speech items' to name all the things that make up our reality, from tree, run, see, sky to radar and everything in between. We are a speech-making species like bees are a honey-making species, like sheep are a wool-making species, etc.
It is a FACT that there are two in our species like there are two in most animal species. The two means that BOTH evolved with the same ability to make speech. This means that BOTH must be at the speech-making table to develop language.
Patriarchy did not want this to be the case. To achieve calling the species "mankind" it had to impose that the two genders were men, man and 'wo' +man. FACT: we are not both men.
FACT: we are both speech-makers. This helps us to re-establish what the ancients saw in our "speech-making" distinction. They saw that it made us wise, wise in the sense of knowing what exists in our reality - because we fulfilled the requirements to name the existents in our reality. And the more one knew about reality, the more wise one was.
So they named this 'knowledge-of-reality' sapient, it is linked to the acts: to know, to see, to taste, to feel, to touch, etc. As a species we are sapiens.
Fact: We never stopped being sapiens. All born into the speech-making species are sapiens.
