Humans of Earth

The Earth humans (or Earthhumans) are a species from the planet Earth and the only intelligent life in the solar system, located approximately 25 kilolights from the Milky Way center.

Psychology[]

Their psychology is more or less similar to pan-humans.

Physiology[]

They are biologically similar to pan-humans of the galaxy.[1] While Diziet Sma considers herself "human", she refers them as vaguely human or resembling something almost human.

History[]

Their Level 3 civilization was discovered in November 1976 CE by the GCU Arbitrary, which began a Contact survey on it,[1] which lasted approximately 14 months before leaving it Uncontacted against the request of Diziet Sma.[2][3]

Despite the Arbitrary's suggestion of 10,000 years as an appropriate period of study,[4] Earth was finally contacted c. 2100 CE.[5]

Culture[]

They speak in various languages, such as Arabic, Bengali, Chinese, English, Farsi, French, German, Greek, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and a great many others.

Their terminology is presumably different to that of the Culture and other Involved and non-Involved civilisations; in particular the term "polity" as Earthly-based: an identifiable political entity, a group of people with a collective identity, who are organized by some form of institutionalized social relations, and have a capacity to mobilize resources.
