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. The species was created by the Engineers, an ancient precursor race who seeded the human homeworld Earth with life in the distant past. Anatomically modern-appearing humans originated in Africa about 200,000 years ago, reaching full behavioral modernity around 50,000 years ago. In the more recent age, humans have successfully ascended to spacefaring status and established an expanding interstellar dominion. As humanity continues to expand throughout the galaxy, they continuously conflict both amongst themselves and against extraterrestrial threats like Xenomorph XX121.
