Human

Most humans are the descendants of pioneers, conquerors, traders, travelers, refugees, and other people on the move. As a result, human lands are home to a mix of people—physically, culturally, religiously, and politically different. Hardy or fine, light-skinned or dark, showy or austere, primitive or civilized, devout or impious, humans run the gamut.
Humans are the most adaptable, flexible, and ambitious people among the common races. They are diverse in their tastes, morals, customs, and habits. Others accuse them of having little respect for history, but it’s only natural that humans, with their relatively short lifespans and constantly changing cultures, would have a shorter collective memory than dwarves, elves, gnomes, or halflings.
Humans typically stand from 5 feet to a little over 6 feet tall and weigh from 125 to 250 pounds, with men noticeably taller and heavier than women. Thanks to their penchant for migration and conquest, and to their short life spans, humans are more physically diverse than other common races. Their skin shades range from nearly black to very pale, their hair from black to blond, curly, kinky, or straight, and their facial hair, for men, from sparse to thick. Plenty of humans have a dash of nonhuman blood, and they may demonstrate hints of elf, orc, or other lineages. Members of this race are often ostentatious or unorthodox in their grooming and dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, body piercings, and the like. Humans have short life spans, reaching adulthood at about age 15 and rarely living even a single century.
Just as readily as they mix with each other, humans mix with members of other races, among which they are known as “everyone’s second-best friends.” Humans serve as ambassadors, diplomats, magistrates, merchants, and functionaries of all kinds.
Nine human ethnicities are detailed on page 29 of the Player's Handbook. Ten other groups of humans are discussed on page 110 of the Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide. Together these nineteen ethnic groups and the typical names of their members used throughout the known realms as well as their most common location. These Human Races provide an additional language of the ethnicities described below, all but Dannoran that is, which is the world's common tongue and known by all since the time of the Godswar.

Human adventurers are the most, well, adventurous. Full of daring and ambitious members of an audacious, daring, and ambitious race.
