A human is a member of the species Homo sapiens, which is the only extant species of the genus Homo. Humans are primates, and they are characterized by their ability to use complex tools, their highly developed brains, and their capacity for language and abstract thought. Humans are one of the most successful and widespread species on Earth, and they are found in nearly every corner of the globe.
Humans have a long and complex history, and they have evolved over millions of years from earlier primates. The earliest known members of the Homo genus, such as Homo habilis and Homo erectus, lived between 2 and 1.5 million years ago. Homo sapiens, the species to which all modern humans belong, appeared around 300,000 years ago.

They have also had a profound impact on the natural world, both through the destruction of habitats and species and through the conservation and protection of the environment. Today, humans are the dominant species on Earth, and they continue to evolve and adapt to new challenges and opportunities.
