Human

**Humans**, known taxonomically as *Homo sapiens* (Latin: "wise man" or "knowing man"), are the only living species in the Homo genus of bipedal primates in Hominidae, the great ape family. Anatomically modern-appearing humans originated in Africa about 200,000 years ago, reaching full behavioural modernity around 50,000 years ago.

Humans are noted for their desire to understand and influence their environment, seeking to explain and manipulate phenomena through science, philosophy, mythology and religion. This natural curiosity has led to the development of advanced tools and skills, which are passed down culturally; humans are the only species on Earth known to build fires, cook their food, clothe themselves, and use numerous other technologies. The study of humans is the scientific discipline of anthropology.

## Description

Humans come in various shapes and sizes, and are one of the most variable species in the world in terms of physique. They are also claimed to be the most intelligent beings on Earth.

### Physical description

Humans can be distinguished in terms of physical appearance, based on their appearance differences range in terms of:

* Height
* Weight
* Skin colour
* Hair colour
* Hair length
* Hair nature (curly, straight, frizzy...)
* Different sized eyes, nose, arms, legs, hands, etc...

## Characteristics

Humans are omnivorous creatures that lack a thick coat of fur and have skin that varies from the palest cream to darkest black. Hair comes in black, brown, blonde, and red colours with a wide range of textures. They are built more for endurance than speed, like a more apex predator would be, and lack claws, sharp canines, venom, great strength, or anything else that would make up the usual effective predator. However, their intelligence and tool-making makes up for this lack.

Although humans are by far inferior in physiology and technology as opposed to the Ethron and Aala'rak, their intelligence proved to be their greatest weapon. Humans survived many climatic changes in the world such as the Ice Age, and encounters with prehistoric beasts, humans managed to survive by adapting to their environments and evolution. They lack the superior strength and physicality of other species, but they always managed to defeat their opponents by cunning and guile. Among those were Tom Thompson, Lewis Parker and Matthew Abrams. As generations grew, humans advanced in technology, specifically space travel and weaponry. Another one of their greatest weapons is their ability to socialise and idealise. In weaponry, humans present an arsenal of dangerous weapons from the Firearms to Nuclear Weapons.

### Intelligence

Humans have a highly developed brain, capable of abstract reasoning, language, introspection, and problem solving. This mental capability, combined with an erect body carriage that frees the hands for manipulating objects, has allowed humans to make far greater use of tools than any other living species on Earth. Other higher-level thought processes of humans, such as self-awareness, rationality and sapience, are considered to be defining features of what constitutes a "person".

## Society

Like most higher primates, humans are social animals. However, humans are uniquely adept at utilising systems of communication for self-expression, the exchange of ideas, and organisation. Humans create complex social structures composed of many cooperating and competing groups, from families to nations. Social interactions between humans have established an extremely wide variety of values, social norms, and rituals, which together form the basis of human society. With individuals widespread in every continent except Antarctica, humans are a cosmopolitan species. As of July 2017, the population of humans on Earth was estimated to be about 7.5 billion.

## Origins

An advanced humanoid species known to humans as the Aala'rak, were responsible for the creation of humanity. Approximately at 2.5 million BC, the last known Aala'rak, Kor-Al genetically created several seeds and sent them to different planets, notably sending the human seed to Earth which started the building blocks of human evolution.

## History

### Early extraterrestrial contact

Humans first originated on the planet Earth, where they were little more than savages and barbarians. However, they were discovered by the cunning Ethrons around 5,000 B.C and several are abducted and taken to Suezeus for enslavement. Suezeus was a dark, evil and cursed place with terrible weather such as black storms. These humans were enslaved and forced to eat only raw meat. These humans slowly evolved into dangerous Sathrons of many kinds. These Sathrons were formed into an army of the Ethron Supremacy. These evolved humans are rid of their former name 'human' and are known only as 'sathrons'.

The humans back on Earth slowly evolved into the humans we know today. Humanity's technology advanced and grew, as the humans knew the future of Earth would be doomed to lack of natural resources, overpopulation and climate change, a secret organisation formed known as the Lux Republic expanded into space, and in 1970, the space ship *Leviathan* received a distress signal from another planet known as Suezeus. They used the energy crystal known as the Tirinite to travel to the planet. They landed on the planet where they found Ethrons and Sathrons and were attacked. The Lux retreated back to Earth and expanded the Lux Republic into a military branch.
