Humans (Homo sapiens) are a species of intelligent, nearly hairless, bipedal great apes that are the most abundant and widespread beings within the Alpha Sol System and the Yatan-Theian Accord as a whole. Humans are highly social and tend to live in complex social structures composed of many cooperating and competing groups, from families and kinship networks to political states. As such, social interactions between Humans have established a wide variety of values, social norms, language, and rituals, each of which bolster human society. The desire to understand and influence phenomena have motivated humanity's development of science, technology, philosophy, mythology, religion, and other fields of study, leading to their rise to become not only the dominant species on their homeworld of Yata, but also several other worlds. The life span of an individual depends on two major factors, genetics and lifestyle choices. For various reasons, including biological/genetic causes, women live on average about four years longer than men. As of 431, the global average life expectancy at birth of a girl is estimated to be 134 years compared to 130 for a boy.
Humans are historically speaking a somewhat aggressive and militaristic species, engaging in thousands of wars between Nations and Tribes over territories and wealth. This issue has recently in modern times become less prevalent, as humanity has largely coalesced into larger federated states now that they have become a fairly notable force on the galactic stage. As humans have begun to spend increasingly long periods of time beyond their natural environment, various slightly differing adaptions have begun to emerge to better live in environments with greatly differing gravity, ecosystems, and environments from their homeworld of Yata.
Habitat and Population
Early human settlements were dependent on proximity to water and other natural resources used for subsistence, such as populations of animal prey for hunting and arable land for farming. Nowadays, with the improvement of technology and industrialism Humans can generally inhabit anywhere on their homeworld of Yata, alongside worlds they have colonised such as Theia. Humans have also managed to settle on more hostile environments, with aid from their technology which is primarily based on electricity.
Culture
Humanity's unprecedented set of intellectual skills were a key factor in the species' eventual technological advancement and concomitant domination of Yata. Humans are easily capable of teaching generalizable information, which is a trait rare in known species except for sentient ones. innately deploy recursive embedding to generate and communicate complex concepts, engage in the "folk physics" required for competent tool design, or cook food in the wild.
While many species communicate, humans are truly unique for the variety of languages they speak, a defining feature of humanity as many other sentient species tend to speak one or a couple languages across their entire species Human language is open—an infinite number of meanings can be produced by combining a limited number of symbols.
Subspecies
Due to being capable of adapting to a number of environments, Humans have diverged into a number of subspecies best suited for various specific environments, especially if disconnected from other environments for an extensive period of time, though certain subspecies have come to be for other reasons as well.
Homo Sapiens Aberro
Homo Sapiens Aberro, also known as Parahumans, are a proposed sub-species of Humans encompassing all individuals which present various traits generally regarded as Anomalous in some form, or otherwise possess other kinds of usually unnatural abilities such as a high aptitude for Magic, possessing Human Psiosis (a rare condition affecting 0.01% of the population which grants them significantly more control over the Noosphere/psionics), and various other such traits which cannot easily be classified under one widespread subspecies.
Homo Sapiens Exteriores
Homo Sapiens Exteriores, also known as Outer Yatans, are a sub-species of Humans who mainly inhabit the Alpha Sol System's Asteroid Belt, descending from the few which managed to escape their homeworld (as the asteroid belt was the closest easily habitable place which wasn't already occupied) during the beginning of The Great Sleep primarily from the "Empire of Yata" which was located in modern-day Nilastan, though this empire continued to exist in the Asteroid Belt until the start of the 500s. Once they discovered The Great Sleep had ended they attempted to take over Yata from the background, though their attempts were thwarted which soon lead to them giving up, eventually leading to their re-integration with the rest of Humanity after being caught in the crossfire during a conflict between the YNF and Accord.
Homo Sapiens Eosicus
Homo Sapiens Eosicus, also known as Eosians or Eosites, are a sub-species of Humans 'native' to the planet of Eos nowadays located in the Empyrium, having been resurrected by Guinevere during the planet's creation which granted them several characteristics which ordinary Humans do not possess, most notably immortality which prevents them from experiencing a second death (likely a trait inherited from previously being inhabitants of an Afterlife). Surprisingly, the population of Eosians surpasses the population of ordinary Humans by a significant margin.
