Humans, Homo sapiens, are the most abundant and widespread primate species. They are characterized by bipedalism, minimal body hair, and large, complex brains that support technology, culture, and language. Humans are highly social and form groups ranging from families to political states. They are omnivorous and evolved from other hominins in Africa. Homo sapiens emerged around 300,000 years ago and is the only extant member of the genus Homo in common usage.
