'''Humans''' are bipedal primates belonging to the species Homo sapiens ([[Latin]]: "[[wise]] man" or "knowing man") in Hominidae, the great ape family.[2][3] They are the only surviving member of the genus Homo. Humans have a highly developed [[brain]], capable of abstract [[reasoning]], [[language]], [[inner life|introspection]], and problem solving. This mental capability, combined with an erect [[body]] carriage that frees the arms for manipulating objects, has allowed humans to make far greater use of [[tools]] than any other species. Mitochondrial [[DNA]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fossil fossil] [[evidence]] indicates that modern humans originated in Africa about 200,000 years ago.[4] Humans now inhabit every continent, with a total [[population]] of 6.8 billion as of November 2009.[5]

Like most higher [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primate primates], humans are [[society|social]] by [[nature]]. However, humans are [[unique]]ly adept at utilizing [[system]]s of [[communication]] for self-[[expression]], the exchange of [[ideas]], and organization. Humans create [[complex]] social [[structures]] composed of many cooperating and competing [[groups]], from [[families]] to [[nations]]. Social interactions between humans have established an extremely wide variety of [[values]], social norms, and [[rituals]], which together form the basis of human [[society]]. Humans have a marked appreciation for [[beauty]] and [[aesthetics]] which, combined with the human [[desire]] for self-[[expression]], has led to cultural innovations such as [[art]], [[literature]] and [[music]].
