US shop one aims to relocate (4,7)

I believe the answer is:

homo sapiens

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'us' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.

'shop one aims to relocate' is the wordplay.
'to relocate' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'relocated' mean this).
'shop'+'one'+'aims'='shoponeaims'
'shoponeaims' with letters rearranged gives 'HOMO SAPIENS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for homo sapiens that I've seen before include "The one existing species of Man" , "Human species" , "Modern humans" , "Relative of 1 across" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
