	Human - Ultronomicon
		Humans, rather than being descended from pure predators like the Yehat or grazers and insectivores like the Zoq-Fot-Pik, are descended from primates: omnivorous, social creatures that had to cooperate and use clever strategies to scrounge food and defend themselves from larger predators.
		Humans began working on discovering the secret of Hyperspatial travel; unfortunately for them, the highest-level workers on Hyperdrive included many Androsynth, and in the Slave Revolt of 2085 all Androsynth, with the help of Human sympathizers, managed to successfully hijack all of Earth's orbital space stations.
		Human society almost became the inverse of the Syreen, with the masculine, for most of their history, seen as having natural priority over the feminine, so that Earth's leadership and military even now is male-dominated, just as the Syreen's was female-dominated.

	Near-Human - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki
		The appearance of Human and Near-Human communities in various planets predating the discovery of the hyperdrive can be explained by supposing that they had already settled colonies via a slower means of space transport.
		Another explanation is that Humans (or perhaps the Zhell, their ancestors) were taken from their original planet by an ancient race, like the Rakata or the Celestials, and spread through the Galaxy for some reason.
		Zeltrons were Near-Humans with a completely Human appearance, save for their bright reddish skins, which may or may not have been a result of their sun's highly radioactive rays.

		Diversity in appearance was seen on many Human planets, and none of these features are known to have been specifically traced to specific isolated populations on any planets (although Serocco could be an exception).
		However, Humans discovered space travel early in their history; in fact, they were already present on a few scattered colony planets of the Core Worlds even before the development of hyperdrive, thanks to the use of sleeper ships.
		Humans were more likely to live among nonhumans on the cosmopolitan Core Worlds, or on frontier worlds at the Outer Rim of the Galaxy such as Tatooine.

		Hence, insofar as having human causes, the conceptus is human.
		The only thing necessary for the growth and development of this human organism (as with the rest of us) is oxygen, food, and water, since this organism -- like the newborn, the infant, and the adolescent -- needs only to develop in accordance with her already-designed nature that is present at conception.
		Many groups of humans have had difficulty in feeling that persons of another tongue, color, religion, sex, are as human as they." [26] One usually feels a greater sense of loss at the sudden death of a healthy parent than one feels for the hundreds who die daily of starvation in underdeveloped countries.

		Human beings have been altering their appearance for as long as there have been human beings.
		Thus when a young man or woman reaches the age when he or she is ready to become an adult and fully-fledged member of society, the most effective method of ensuring the permanence of this relationship is to permanently alter their bodies in some symbolic way in a rite of passage ritual.
		For this reason, throughout the world and throughout human history, tattooing, scarification, piercing, tooth filing or removal, etc., have been utilised as a means of ensuring that the act of becoming an adult member of a tribe is a permanent social transformation.

		The conclusion drawn by the good doctor is that designers of robots or prosthetics should not strive overly hard to duplicate human appearance, lest some seemingly minor flaw drop the hapless android or cyborg into the uncanny valley—a fate to be dreaded by all concerned.
		Bafflement might well be the dominant human reaction: the sort of mental confusion that results when one looks at something one knows is there but can’t quite make out, like a camouflaged figure against a wooded background or an unexpected optical illusion.
		A more or less human body with therianthropic, or animal-like, head, tail, and perhaps fur is an idea that dates back possibly as far as cave paintings and certainly to the pantheon of ancient Egypt, and can be found in many cultures, including medieval Europe.

		Understanding the appearance of humans is important for several applications ranging from digital actors to medical research.
		I will discuss the appearance of human skin and show how traditional computer graphics algorithms are inadequate when it comes to simulating light scattering within skin.
		Based on more than one year of measuring the scattering of light by a single human hair, I will present a new model for simulating the appearance of human hair that accounts for the multiple reflections of light inside a hair.

	A Brief History of the Human Genome Project
		When specific markers for human genes such as molecular probes for sequences in that gene or for their protein products were used, the nearby genes on that remaining human chromosome could be identified and assigned to that chromosome.
		Human proteins are now being produced by human genes functioning in domestic animals for subsequent harvest and clinical usage without fear of human infecting viruses such as AIDS.
		On an international scale, the Human Gene Organization (HUGO), a body of geneticists and molecular biologists elected in an academy fashion by nomination and subsequent voting by the membership, was formed and incorporated in Switzerland in September 1988 (McKusick, 1989b).

		Human detection and part identification are important and challenging problems in computer vision.
		The main challenge facing a vision-based human detector is the high degree of variability with the human appearance due to articulated motion, occlusion, and inconsistent cloth texture.
		However, contour-based human detection and part identification depend on reliable contour extraction, while contour extraction is an under constrained problem without the knowledge about the objects to be detected.
