Assuming your input is from a file, let's call it homosapiens.txt, you can go from the specified input to the desired output as follow:

with open('homosapiens.txt', 'r') as f:
    for line in f:
        if line == 'human, Homo sapiens':
            print line  # this will print and go to a newline
        elif line:
            print line,  # the comma after line suppresses the newline
