Human

Modern humans (Homo sapiens, primarily ssp. Homo sapiens sapiens) are the only extant members of Hominina clade (or human clade), a branch of the taxonomical tribe Hominini belonging to the family of great apes. They are characterized by erect posture and bipedal locomotion, manual dexterity and increased tool use, and a general trend toward larger, more complex brains and societies.

Early hominins—particularly the australopithecines, whose brains and anatomy are in many ways more similar to ancestral non-human apes—are less often referred to as "human" than hominins of the genus Homo. Some of the latter used fire, occupied much of Eurasia, and gave rise to anatomically modern Homo sapiens in Africa about 200,000 years ago. They began to exhibit evidence of behavioral modernity around 50,000 years ago, and migrated in successive waves to occupy all but the smallest, driest, and coldest lands.

The spread of humans and their large and increasing population has had a profound impact on large areas of the environment and millions of native species worldwide. Advantages that explain this evolutionary success include a relatively larger brain with a particularly well-developed neocortex, prefrontal cortex and temporal lobes, which enable high levels of abstract reasoning, language, problem solving, sociality, and culture through social learning. Humans use tools to a much higher degree than any other animal, are the only extant species known to build fires and cook their food, and are the only extant species to clothe themselves and create and use numerous other technologies and arts.

Human Beings

by: Fischer Z

Sitting in the desert
Keeping off the flies
Swollen stomach, swollen head
And sad and swollen eyes
Waiting for the charity
That slowly dribbles in
This little boy's relying on
The colour of your skin
We did it for the jaguars
The pandas and the seals
And saved protected species
With our desperate appeals
We did it for the elephants
And monkeys in a sack
And just like you we lost a few
They're never coming back
Crouching in the diesel fumes
Holding out their hands
Open targets, open to a
Million grains of sand
Glaring in the camera
Blinking in the lights
Hoping for a miracle to set the world to rights
We're cutting back on our aerosols
Saving on our fuel
And stomping out the bloodsports
We've decided it's too cruel
