The **Homino** (Euh*omo Sivamimus*) is a species created and designed by DockJr1516798 (originally Guminator1). The Hominae inhabit the Arkyzia universe.

## Overview

**Homino** (*Euhomo Sivamimus*) are the second most populous and widespread species of primates on the Planet Artius (apart from humans), characterized by bipedality, opposable thumbs, hairy, and intelligence allowing the use of culture, language and tools. They are the only extant members of the subtribe Cercopithecidae and—together with talapoin, guenon, colobus, douc (douc langur, genus *Pygathrix*), vervet, gelada, mangabey (a group of genera), langur, mandrill, surili (*Presbytis*), patas, and proboscis monkeys—are part of the family Cercopithecidae. Homino are terrestrial Ape-like Monkeys, characterized by their erect posture and bipedal locomotion; high manual dexterity and heavy tool use compared to other animals; open-ended and complex language use compared to other animal communications; larger, more complex brains than other primates; and highly advanced and organized societies.

## Appearance and Anatomy

Most aspects of Homino physiology are closely homologous to corresponding aspects of human physiology. The homina body consists of the legs, the torso, the arms, the neck, and the head. An adult Hominom body consists of about 50-75 trillion cells. The most commonly defined body systems in Homino are the nervous, the cardiovascular, the circulatory, the digestive, the endocrine, the immune, the integumentary, the lymphatic, the musculoskeletal, the reproductive, the respiratory, and the urinary system. Homino, like humans, have proportionately shorter palates and much smaller teeth than other primates. The Homino when compared to humans are also the second primates to have short, relatively flush canine teeth, but some Hominae have teeth which vary, for example some specimens may have long fang-like canine teeth due to them comprehending and adapting to a meat based diet. Hominae have characteristically crowded teeth, with gaps from lost teeth usually closing up quickly in young individuals. Homina are gradually losing their third molars, with some individuals having them congenitally absent. Homino never had tails, tails were lost as evolutionary consequence. Despite being intelligent and sentient, most specimens may try to use gestures to their advantage and the position and movement of the Hands may provide clues to the specimen's physical or emotional state.

## Ecology

### Behavior and Intelligence

Hominom uniquely use systems of symbolic communication such as language and art to express themselves and exchange ideas, as well as to organize themselves into purposeful groups. Hominem create complex social structures composed of many cooperating and competing groups, from families and kinship networks to political states. Social interactions between hominom have established an extremely wide variety of values, social norms, and rituals, which together undergird their society. Curiosity and the desire to understand and influence the environment and to explain and manipulate phenomena have motivated development of science, philosophy, mythology, religion, and other fields of knowledge the species as a whole possesses.

Hominom formerly spent much of their time uninvolved with humans and sometimes resting for most of their own history; they were inactive for about twenty hours per day. Although they could be active at any time, their activity generally peaked after dusk with a period of socializing, grooming, and a usual morning routine. Alongside early humans, the hominom mostly hunted for food and gathered. This was the first and most successful adaptation for the hominom, occupying at least 90 percent of their history along with their human relatives. Though most of the species' existence has been sustained by hunting and gathering in band societies, many hominom societies had started to transition to sedentary agriculture approximately 10,000 years ago, domesticating plants and animals, thus enabling the growth of hominom civilizations. These societies subsequently expanded, establishing various forms of government and culture around their planet, and unifying specimens within regions to form polities similar to the states and empires created by humans.
The rapid advancement of scientific and medical understanding in the 19th and 20th centuries permitted the development of more efficient medical tools and healthier lifestyles, resulting in increased lifespans and causing the population of the species as a whole to rise exponentially. Following the invention of agriculture, hunting and gathering was displaced or conquered by farming or pastoralist groups in most parts of the Artian world. As a result hominom specimens quickly switched to agriculture and most species often resorted to filling in for slave labor as years went by. Early hominom settlements were dependent on proximity to water and (depending on the lifestyle) other natural resources used for subsistence, such as populations of animal prey for hunting and arable land for growing crops and grazing livestock. Modern hominem, however, have a great capacity for altering their habitats by means of technology, irrigation, urban planning, construction, deforestation and desertification, with tendencies for deforestation being more draconian than humanly possible. Homino settlements continue to be vulnerable to natural disasters, especially those placed in hazardous locations and with low quality of construction. Grouping and deliberate habitat alteration is often done with the goals of providing protection, accumulating comforts or material wealth, expanding the available food, improving aesthetics, increasing knowledge or enhancing exchange of resources.

Homino (alongside humans) are one of the most adaptable species, despite having a narrow tolerance to many of the extreme environments both the Earth and Artius have to offer. Through invention hominon have been able to extend their tolerance to a wide variety of temperatures, humidity, and altitudes. As a result, homino are a cosmopolitan species found in almost all regions of the planet Artius, including tropical rainforest, arid desert, extremely cold arctic regions, and heavily polluted cities. Most other species are confined to a few geographical areas by their limited adaptability. The hominem population is not, however, uniformly distributed on Artius' surface, because the population density varies from one region to another and there are large areas almost completely uninhabited. Them resorting to doing labor in place of slaves had caused their population to dwindle over the last three decades alongside being poached by illegal means. Evidence of this is that they are only found in a handful of continents on the planet of Artius with some settlements being taken over by humans.

In fact, hominon have an amiable to hostile relationship with humans: Social conflicts among humans and hominom depend solely on the behaviour of both the specimen(s) of human or homino involved. On a more direct level of fighting, humans and hominon rarely fight, but when they do, it's usually unarmed and caused by certain factors such as mistreatment and the fights can even involve torture and mutilation to the belligerents.

An unarmed homino/human duel can take may forms but the most common form of fight as observed in the hominon's wild rainforest habitat involves both the homino and human slowly approaching one other ready to attack. Once they are close enough to attack, they pause slightly, and then the human can either run away or attack. If the human does attack, the hominon responds by lunging and attempting to bite the nape of the human. The human has no choice but to retaliate by either striking the homino by punching, kicking, or even clawing aggressively at it. The homino also retaliates in a similar way, and loud intense screams can come from both the homino and human involved. Sometimes the hominon can sometimes emit shrills so loud it could damage the human's hearing as one of several attempts to incapacitate it from attacking further. This can go on for some time until either side does not retaliate. In the case of the human, it could display remorseful behavior or even feign death, either intentionally or not. If the homino is defeated, it does not move until the human responds. Once this happens if the defeated homino doesn't respond, it may result in both the human and hominon beginning the attack all over again or even starting an armed attack with the usage of weapons and tools.

### Diet

The diets of nearly all Homina specimens have a diet composed of fruits, nuts, leaves, vegetables, and sometimes some could have the capacity for eating sugary fruit, the capacity for eating leaves and the capacity for eating meat. Some follow a vegetarian diet while a few others have a slightly carnivorous diet.

### Reproduction

Homino specimens typically involve sexual intercourse between a male and a female specimen. During sexual intercourse, the interaction between the male and female reproductive systems results in fertilization of the female's ovum by the male's sperm. These are specialized reproductive cells called gametes, created in a process called meiosis. While normal cells contain 46 chromosomes, 23 pairs, gamete cells only contain 23 chromosomes, and it is when these two cells merge into one zygote cell that genetic recombination occurs and the new zygote contains 23 chromosomes from each parent, giving them 23 pairs. A typical 9-month gestation period is followed by childbirth. The fertilization of the ovum may be achieved by artificial insemination methods, which do not involve sexual intercourse; this can be done by themselves or by human aid. Assisted reproductive technology also exists for a specimen.
