Humans

Humans (scientific name Homo sapiens sapiens; formally called Humanity, Mankind or simply Man) are a species of hominids native to Earth in the Sol System, and are one of the main factions of the Human-Sargist War.

History
Humans belong to the genus Homo and are the only surviving species of that genus. Despite much archaeological evidence about humans and their extinct ancestors and relatives, their precise origins and heritage remain a mystery. Despite detailed historic records dating back more than 5,000 years ago to Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, anatomically modern humans have existed for more than 200,000. Therefore, it is generally assumed that true civilization did not arise until then. Even with these limitations, human history is incredibly in-depth and detailed. Therefore, only the most relevant aspects of history will be covered.

Pre-FTL History
For all of recorded history, human history is filled with records and indications of cultures, customs, literature, alliances and, most of all, war. As a naturally cooperative but tribal-minded species, it has always been defined by ever-shifting wars and alliances between groups, whether they be defined by ethnicity, ideology, religion, creed, tribe, clan, noble house, or even the most arbitrarily definitions. This has remained the case all the way up to the formation of the UANSF, although such conflicts have settled down a greatly since them.

Description
Humans are bipedal mammals defined by their naked skin, whose tone generally varies by latitude and climate from the UV-resistant dark pigments of the equatorial areas to the paler Vitamin-D producing complexions by the polar regions.
