Homo Sapiens

Homo sapiens, or modern humans, are the sole remaining species of the genus Homo. They are a species of the genus primates and have spread across the globe. They stand out for their ability to walk on two feet, known as bipedalism, and for their large brains that grant them advanced thinking skills and high intelligence. Modern humans communicate through complex languages, skillfully use a range of tools, and showcase their creativity through culture and art. They also build intricate social networks. These skills made it possible to dominate the Earth.
