A human is a member of a species of bipedal primates in the family Hominidae (taxonomically Homo sapiens—Latin: "wise man" or "knowing man"). DNA and fossil evidence indicates that modern humans originated in east Africa about 200,000 years ago. When compared to other animals and primates, humans have a highly developed brain, capable of abstract reasoning, language, introspection and problem solving. This mental capability, combined with an erect body carriage that frees the forelimbs (arms) for manipulating objects, has allowed humans to make far greater use of tools than any other species. Humans are distributed worldwide, with significant populations inhabiting most land areas of Earth. The human population on Earth is greater than 6.7 billion, as of February 2009, which is estimated to be roughly 5% of the total that have ever lived. Like most higher primates, humans are social by nature. Humans are particularly adept at utilizing systems of communication—primarily spoken, gestural, and written language—for self-expression, the exchange of ideas, and organization. Humans create complex social structures composed of many cooperating and competing groups, from families to nations. Social interactions between humans have established an extremely wide variety of traditions, rituals, ethics, values, social norms, and laws, which together form the basis of human society. Humans are distinctive as a species on the Earth by having a perception of beauty and aesthetics at least to a point which results in a material culture. This, when combined with the desire for self-expression and a proportionally large brain-size, has led to innovations such as art, written language, music and science. Humans seek to understand and influence the environment around them, trying to explain and manipulate natural phenomena through philosophy, art, science, mythology, and religion. This natural curiosity has led to the development of advanced tools and skills. Although humans are not the only species to use tools, they are unique in building fires, cooking their food, and clothing themselves; as well as using other advanced technologies. Humans pass down their skills and knowledge to the next generations and so are regarded as dependent upon culture. From Wikipedia under the

I know it might be a little bizarre that I ask this, but I am just very interested in subjects and human behaviors.

Where do you fall and how does that impact how you think about fellow humans and the environment? Asked by Ottawa Mike - Thu Jun 18 15:54:38 2009 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments A. Humans are primarily driven by self-interest and greed. I wouldn't really consider that something negative though. Self interest and greed drive our economy and are responsible for basically every major technological advancement we've ever had. Even things like giving to charity or working for others are fulfilling self-interest. It's fulfilling a need for respect, morality, etc. Answered by Dawei - Thu Jun 18 16:16:37 2009 How can a human being been thrown through a brick wall?
Q. We've all seen those movies where people get hurled through brick walls (Realistic or what?) and so first I was wondering how hard and fast the average human would actually have to be thrown to go through a normal brick wall, And second, if such speeds would not simply cause the human being to literally get squished. Like a 8 foot pizza. Any thoughts? Asked by Boldly Going Nowhere - Tue Jan 15 13:43:55 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. It would definately have to be a very high velocity, assuming there was nothing that was comprimising the structure of the brick wall. They probably wouldn't get squished, but there would be a lot of broken bones and probably major internal bleeding.
