I think you will find that homo does actually mean man, as in homo sapiens - what you are referring to is the derogatory version.

Indeed, but 'homo' in that sense includes the female whereas the other words in the group do not.

Yes, and that weakens the integrity of that particular group (i.e. the group of 4 words in this puzzle) - although I've never heard the term used to describe a female.

Homo includes woman only in the wider sense and as you yourself have said you have never heard it used in that context, which leads me on to..............

You are trying to put a modern day PC slant on it. Homo is Latin for man, end of.
Hey, I'm not a pro at this... just making em up for 'our' enjoyment. I thought that one met the criteria... with the red herrings and all.
Hercs the pro, so his adjudication is final.
And it was good Stephen, and I am supporting you with my last post - mind you I don't think the Only Connect team would have accepted it.

Aww shucks. 
And I like you too.
Okay, what about this wall?
James Eccles Joseph Tottenham
Leeds Richard Dundee Mark
John Oxford Stephen York
Pontefract Paul Chorley George
Beatles first names & cakes
8 are names and 8 are places....
Needs more diversity.

James John Richard George Beatles Forenames

Pontefract Dundee Ecccles Chorley ( cakes or places in Leeds apart from Dundee and maybe the others as well)
No idea on the rest or if any of that is right

It does really. 
Nice red herring on the Beatles names though.
And...............

Err, looked good to me until I noticed you have James twice.
I think it is:-
YORKSHIRE
Leeds
York
Pontefract
Chorley
BEATLES FIRST NAMES
James
Richard
John
George
BIBLICAL CHARACTERS
Joseph
Mark
Paul
Stephen
CAKES
Eccles
Tottenham
Dundee
Oxford
Looking at it now I have posted it, James or Paul could both be Biblical characters and/or in the Beatles; and this is where you have to be careful when submitting to Only Connect that each item will only fit one group.
But some items can fit more than one group
Otherwise it would be too easy
And it's real first names of the Beatles otherwise they'd have Ringo
Here you go I've done one
It's probably rubbish, and would never be accepted by Only connect
But it's just a bit of fun innit
