"Human being" is a reference to a species, and should be marked up as such on any page which includes it in a biological context.
That's quite a bit of extra metadata -- IIRC the species tree has a height of about six or seven at its shortest. Is that really necessary on EVERY page mentioning a scientific name in a biological context? Could an automated tool be written to, when the text "Homo sapiens" is encountered, automatically mark it up into the correct species microformat? is Genus Species a fairly unique way of identifying something? Or are there collisions?
I think questions like those will help your case -- sending dozens of links to this list will not.
