Currently, Humans live in hundreds of nation-states, speak thousands of languages, and have a delightful variety of cultures, philosophies, and religions. Humans have not yet completely lifted themselves from their childhood desire to make everyone else conform with themselves. This uneasiness with cultural and linguistic diversity has caused the Human race to waste much in the line of time and resources by seeking a consensus where none is needed. Part of this disability must be attributed to unstable climates that result from living in a double-planet system, where agriculture is part planning and part sheer luck. Humans are further distracted by debates aimed at forming an unneeded consensus about methods, means, and procedures of food production and distribution.
Humans can travel in space, but only in government-sponsored exploratory missions to nearby planets.
The only planet that has actually been reached by Humans without outside help is Moon. Humans have begun to explore the rest of the Solar system with automatic equipment and telemetry. Humans have developed a complex global communications system and transportation to all inhabited portions of their planet. It is technologically possible for a person to travel between any two places on Earth within an Earth day. Humans have not developed a quick means of responding to disease.
