  1. human beings

    Human beings, also known as Homo sapiens, are a species of primates characterized by their highly developed brains, cognitive abilities and complex social structures. They are capable of creating and using tools, language, art, culture, and they have highly developed reasoning abilities. They are bipedal, meaning they can walk upright on two legs, and they have opposable thumbs that allow for precise manipulation of objects. Human beings are the only extant members of the sub-tribe Hominina. Their ability for introspection and moral reasoning allows them to consider and question their own existence, leading to philosophies, ideologies and religions. Humans are also characterized by their collective methods of organization and ability to shape and manipulate the environment, creating complex societal frameworks and structures.
