Modern humans (Homo sapiens, primarily ssp. Homo sapiens sapiens) are usually regarded as the only extant members of the hominin clade (or human clade), a branch of the 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.
Powers[]
The average human can lift about 150 pounds, though some people have been known to lift over 1000 pounds. Certain people can pull about 400,000 pounds[1]. Humans can run at speeds up to 27 miles per hour, though is has been theorized that humans are physically capable of running at a speed of 43 miles per hour of physical pain is negated. Strength and speed can be increased to high levels with adrenaline during a fight or flight reaction, resulting in “hysterical strength”. Hysterical strength has allowed feats including lifting cars weighing up to 4,000 pounds and brawling with polar bears without being brutally mauled. There are unconfirmed reports of certain humans having unique abilities. Humans can adapt to nearly any situation. When a human reproduces with another species (this can't be done in real life), any weaknesses inherited from the non-human parent are either dulled or eliminated entirely because of this adaptability. Humans are adaptable to multiple, but not every, environment. They can acclimatize to places with lower oxygen, and their biological processes, such as metabolism, alter to survive places drastically hotter or colder than their regular place of dwelling. Humans also have the highest endurance of any known organism on Earth, able to cover hundreds of miles over the course of a week if they wish without sustaining damage to their body. They posses uncanny accuracy that makes them a seriously dangerous threat if they have an object to grasp and are able to throw with a speed of up to 105 MPH (Peak Record). Their mind is the most powerful of any being in the animal kingdom, able to recall past events in detail, imagine, plan ahead for future scenarios, and reshape their environment into tools and weapons. They also have the best vision besides predatory birds, able to see hundreds and even thousands of feet away and see camouflaged prey through their advanced sense of spatial geometry.
Humans in mythology[]
Humans are not only a huge part of mythology, they are usually the most important to the development of legends. Also their fear and curiosity about the unknown has been recorded in history. The time when mankind began to draw cave art and also the first written words, human beings started to create deities and also became major gods in some legends.

Related species[]
Ice Queen's Species[]
An unnamed species of humanoid predators from the Pleistocene Epoch that seem to be closely related to Homo erectus. The only known member of this species was the Ice Queen. This species likely went extinct upon her death.
Xenomorphs[]
The Xenomorph XX121 is an extraterrestrial species whose life cycle involves an endoparasitoid larval stage that develops within the body of another creature and takes up genetic material from it. The appearance of the adult Xenomorph is host-dependent (among other factors), and generally incorporates from 10 to 15% of its host's genetic structure. Humans are suitable hosts, so every Xenomorph born from a human is technically a human-alien hybrid.
In 2093, an expedition to the Zeta Reticuli System came across the black liquid created by the alien "Engineers". A human named Charles Holloway was infected with it by the android David and later produced a mutated, genetically half-human creature known as the "Trilobite", gestated inside the womb of Holloway's partner, Elizabeth Shaw, before being surgically-removed. The "Trilobite" would grow up to become a giant tentacled creature that implanted an alien embryo into an "Engineer", giving rise to the Xenomorph-like Deacon. About an year later, David successfully combined human biological material (from Elizabeth Shaw), as well as that of the "Engineers" and native life forms of an unnamed planet, mutated by the black liquid, to create a Xenomorph.
Neanderanderthal[]
An archaic human species/subspecies (Homo neanderthalensis or Homo sapiens neanderthalensis), that lived in Eurasia.
