Does it mean the same as #432440 - To err is human.
?

Yes, I think so. This means the same thing as the link you have. There are many variants of this statement.

Note that "to err" is a bit more formal and academic sounding than "to make mistakes."

I see. Thank you.

See this proverb.

> To err is to be human.
I don't think a native speaker would likely produce this sentence.

This sounds like an error to me, since we so often hear it as "to err is human"
