Humans are generally regarded as the galaxy's explorers. Their ability to adapt allows them to thrive even in the harshest of alien environments. Perhaps one reason for the success of this race is its diversity. Humans are found in a wide variety of occupations, and spend their non-working time participating in a multitude of different sports, entertainment, art forms, or intellectual pursuits. They are also one of the few known races in the galaxy that engage in sexual intercourse primarily for pleasure.
Due to the diversification of their society, the typical human is somewhat above-average in intelligence at the expense of strength and constitution. Humans are also considered to be generally attractive. This is probably due to genetic technology derived from their obsession with physical appearance and sexual intercourse. Humans also have a nervous system that contributes to a slightly above-average dexterity.
The human race originated from the planet Earth in the Sol system.
