Homo Pecus could literally be translated as "Man and Beast" which I believe would be used as a purely scientific term of classification. After all, Humans don't call themselves "Sapiens," so I'm using that logic and thinking to explain why I don't believe that the Faunus would be called "Homo Faunus." In addition, scientific nomenclature is done in Latin, where Faunus means 'deer.' I do not believe that this represents the Faunus species as a whole, therefore I continue to believe that something more encompassing, like Pecus, would be used.
