Humans

A mammalian bipedal species evolved on the planet Earth located in the Sol system. The specific location of the Sol system is within the Orion Spur Arm of the Milky Way Galaxy.

Among the greater galactic community it is something of a mystery as to how Earth actually managed to evolve life, as the Sol system is completely devoid of Cygnium. Some levels of Cygnium and its associated radioactivity have been found to have catalyzed the formation of life on nearly every other life bearing world thus far. Its presence on all other worlds bearing sapient life thus far has long been thought to indicate some link between Cygnium presence and the development of sapience.

As a planet with no natural source of Cygnium, the native fauna of the planet have no natural Burners within any of their various species.

Description
Adult humans average between 1.5 meters and 2 meters tall, 45 kg to 120 kg. Their skin color varies, staying within the tan and brown spectrum.

Hair is predominantly on the head and torso, and color varies between browns, blondes, red and black, though many humans are known to artificially color their head-covering hair for various purposes.

Eye color tends to have the high variation of color for humans, between browns, greens, blues, yellows or even a mixture of these various colors, often times called Hazel.

Civilization
After first contact, human civilization shifted towards a unified front under the Corporate Council, a council of 5 Corporate leaders, who vote towards progression of the human species within the galaxy, and an Arbiter to assist the council in tasks and information. On a smaller scale, individual continents are ruled separately, though all still report to the Corporate Council.

Current Council Members
 * Ashia Dusk - Mars Industrial Consortium - Asia
 * Nicholas Dickons - Nizdy Corperation - Western North and South America
 * Reyansh Patel - Iris Industries - India
 * Natalia Karamatzova - Ardent Corps - Europe
 * Matthias Greyson - Soda Cola - Eastern North and South America
 * Phoebe Fujikawa - United Nations Arbiter

Reproduction
Humans reproduce via an egg carrier and an egg fertilizer. During procreation, the fertilizer inseminates the carrier's egg. After insemination, the carrier keeps the fetus within their body through gestation, finally giving live birth to a human infant approximately 9 earth months later.

Human infants have little in the way of self defense mechanisms, relying mostly on adult humans for protection.

Artificial insemination is possible within humans, as is growth of fetuses to term within laboratories, though this is often frowned upon for largely cultural reasons.
