Humans.Singular: Human
Plural: Humans
Humans, or human beings, are bipedal primates belonging to the mammalian species Homo sapiens (Latin for "wise man" or "knowing man") under the family Hominidae (the great apes). Humans have a highly developed brain capable of abstract reasoning, language and introspection. This, combined with an erect body carriage that frees their upper limbs for manipulating objects, has allowed humans to rise from their primate ancestry into a semblance of civilisation.
Like most primates, humans are by nature social. However, humans are particularly adept at utilizing systems of communication for self-expression and the exchange of ideas. Though they are still one of the lowest of the speaking races, their ruthlessness and ingenuity have seen them spread across entire continents.
Humans have developed a semi-complex social system, with some interesting customs. Their interests in art and music are great, though they also attach great significance to something wholly unique to the human race - religion. Though the humans pronounce that all races have religion, theirs is the only one to have slaughtered their own kind senselessly because of differing opinions.
Humans have two sexes, and a variety of colourations, ranging in skin tone from a pale peach to a dark ebony brown. It is very rare for a human to have skin markings, and their hair ranges from a light yellow-white through bronzen hues, browns, and black. Most humans lose their hair colour as they age, eventually having white hair. Their sexes are male, and female, with the female bearing children. Though males seem to dominate, females of this species seem to have much more intelligence and adaptability.Humans range in height from under five feet to six, occasionally higher when breeding with other races such as elves. Their ears are mostly immobile, and their eye-colour is not usually indicative of mood. Eye-colour can be blue, green, hazel, or brown. Any other colour indicates racial interbreeding.
