The term Pan-human describes a large group of roughly humanoid species with similar characteristics, originating from many worlds across the Milky Way galaxy[1] besides Earth.
Psychology[]
More or less similar to Earth's humanity, the pan-human bio-heritage included a primal "lust for destruction, [and] glory."[2]
In the 20th century CE, most pan-human cultures practised gender equality.[3]
Physiology[]
Although there is considerable variation among species, the standard pan-human bodyplan is bipedal and upright, with two arms and two legs, hands and feet with several digits each, and a head where the brain, mouth, respiratory and primary sensory organs (typically two eyes, two ears and a nose) are located. In the 29th century CE, approximately 28 percent of pan-human meta-species had hymens[4], about a third shared the same definition of one standard gravity[5], and most had head hair.[6] Pan-humans used water as a reference medium.[7] As of the 20th century CE, most pan-humans breathed oxygen.[3]
Pan-humans from differing planets of origin were genetically distinct enough so as not to be interfertile, but the pan-humans making up the Culture were generally genetically modified so as to be able to interbreed.
Demographics[]
Pan-humanity was spread widely across the Milky Way.[3] In the 20th century CE, pan-humans amounted to less than one percent of the total life-mass of the galaxy.[3]
