Human

Humans are an intelligent species that originated on Earth, but can be found inhabiting many other planets across the Milky Way (especially in their home Solar System. They are the most widespread species throughout the entire Milky Way Galaxy, and are generally considered to be the most technologically advanced due to hailing from the earliest known form of life in the galaxy.

Biology and Appearance

Humans generally come in two sexes, male and female, and give birth to live young. They are bipedal beings with a bilateral symmetry, having a front and a back end, as well as an upside and downside. Their bodies are comprised of a torso with a head and four limbs attached to it. The upper limbs, or arms, end in hands which had five fingers each; the lower ones, called legs, end in feet. The human fingers have multiple points of articulation, and one of them is an opposable thumb that allowed for fine manipulation. Finally, they have one head perched atop their torso. Several other species are referred to as “humanoids” because of their structural resemblance to humans.

Society and Culture

There exist thousands of regional groups of humans with their own cultures, from North Dakotans to Martians. Humans are the most populous species in the galaxy, after all.
