Human

Humans were a species of sentient, bipedal mammals with bilateral symmetry possibly native to the planet Coruscant. They were commonly encountered throughout the galaxy, from the bountiful planet of Naboo to the desert world of Tatooine. They were known to engage in many different pursuits, from politics to bounty hunting. Species that bore structural resemblance to humans were referred to as "humanoids."

### Biology and Appearance

Humans were an intelligent mammalian species that arguably originated on Coruscant. They came in two sexes, male and female, and gave birth to live young. They were bipedal beings with a bilateral symmetry, having a front and a back end, as well as an upside and downside. Their bodies were comprised of a torso with a head and four limbs attached to it. The upper limbs, or arms, ended in hands which had five fingers each; the lower ones, called legs, ended in feet. The human fingers had multiple points of articulation, and one of them was an opposable thumb that allowed for fine manipulation. Finally, they had one head perched atop their torso. Many other species, including the Twi'leks the Mon Calamari or the Zygerrians, were referred to as "humanoids" because of their structural resemblance to humans. Like many other species, humans needed to take in oxygen from their environment to live.

Compared with the Wookiees of Kashyyyk, humans had little hair on their bodies. Most of it was concentrated on the scalp as well as the lower portions of the faces of most males, though these regions were often shaved in various patterns, either for hygiene or self-expression (strips of concentrated hair, referred to as "brows," were also located above the eyes, and were used in non-verbal communication). Human skin tones ranged from dark brown, through lighter shades, to pale. The skin of most humans native to Lothal had a copper sheen. Human eyes came in shades of blue, green, or brown. Occasionally, humans with purple or even red eyes could be encountered. The average height of humans was a little below 1.85 meters.

While examining the human Luke Skywalker after capturing him, a wampa noted his appearance, coming to the conclusion that a human was built to be useless and frail. The wampa was unable to fathom how such a lifeform had survived, especially since he saw that Skywalker was not a youngling. Additionally, the wampa noted the human's arms were not built to strike at prey and lacked claws. He also realized a human's legs were too short to be able to run fast across snow or ice. Because the throats of the two species were vastly different, most humans were incapable of speaking Shyriiwook, the language of the Wookiees. However, some humans could imitate Shyriiwook well enough to at least be somewhat understood by Wookiees. In comparison with most other species, the humans' sense of smell was quite underdeveloped.
Like many other species, they could be sensitive to the Force, a mysterious energy that connected all living things in the galaxy and gave special powers to those who learned how to manipulate it. The Chosen One, Anakin Skywalker, was human as were many Sith and Jedi such as Darth Sidious, Count Dooku, Mace Windu, and Obi-Wan Kenobi.

### Society and Culture

Although humans could occupy a variety of occupations, from politicians to bounty hunters or moisture farmers, they were reputedly unable to work as podracers. Anakin Skywalker was reportedly the only human who could race pods. Humans were one of the most sucessful colonial species at migrating and adapting to dominate new worlds, meaning there existed many diverse planetary groups of humans with their own cultures, such as the Alderaanians and the Pamarthens.
