Nope, although things are tending that way. This is the traditional
version -

Order: Primata
Suborder: Anthropoidea (one of two)
Superfamily: Hominoidea (one of three)
Family: Hominidae (one of two)
Genus: Homo (no others)
Species: Sapiens (no others)
Subspecies: Sapiens (no others)

The trouble with this is that it greatly overstates the genetic
distance between humans and apes (Family Pongidae). It will
undoubtedly be further simplified at some point: the days when every
new fossil hominid was assigned to a new genus are long gone. Family
seems too high a level for the Hominidae, a group containing only one
extant subspecies, so they may well be downgraded - not as far as
species, though.
