 Human height - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Human height is both of moderately high phenotypic plasticity and is highly heritable.
Average height is increasingly used as a measure of the health and wellness (standard of living and quality of life) of populations.

 Human feces - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Human feces vary significantly in appearance, depending on the state of the whole digestive system, influenced by diet and health.
Small pieces of harder, less moist feces can be seen impacted on the distal end (a normal occurrence when a prior bowel movement is incomplete, and feces is returned from the rectum to the intestine, where water is absorbed).
Due to its taboo, feces is a subject of toilet humor.

A rainbow is an optical and meteorological phenomenon that causes a nearly continuous spectrum of light to appear in the sky when the sun shines onto falling rain.

 Human nature - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Human nature is the fundamental nature and substance of humans, as well as the range of human behavior that is believed to be invariant over long periods of time and across very different cultural contexts.
According to Hobbes, humans in the state of nature are inherently in a "war of all against all," and life in that state is ultimately "nasty, brutish, and short." To Hobbes, this state of nature is remedied by good government.
State of nature refers to philosophical assertions regarding the condition of humans before social factors are imposed, thus attempting to describe the "natural essence" of human nature.

 Kids.net.au - Encyclopedia Human cloning -
Human cloning is the creation of a genetically identical copy of an existing human or growing cloned tissue from that individual.
The term is generally used to refer to artificial human cloning; human clones in the form of identical twins are commonplace, with their cloning occurring during the natural process of reproduction.
Other arguments are that a human life would be manufactured (made by man hand) with specifications, being treated as an object, instead of being an individual with his own identity, and at risk of being treated as second-class individual.

 Human extinction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Human extinction would be the extinction of the human species, Homo sapiens, whether on Earth (often as the result of a doomsday event) or from the entire universe, provided the species colonizes on other planets.
Humans are very similar to other primates in their genetic propensity towards intra-species violence; Jared Diamond's The Rise and Fall of the Third Chimpanzee estimates that 64% of hunter-gather societies engage in warfare every two years.
In cultures where human extinction is not expected the proposition must overcome the "disconfirmation bias" against heterodox theories.

 Human ecology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Humans are no longer seen as an exceptional species that uses culture to adapt to new environments and environmental change, influenced more by social than by biological variables, but rather as one species out of many that interacts with a bounded natural environment.

 Human genome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The chimpanzee genome is approximately 95% identical to the human genome.
Comparative genomics studies of mammalian genomes suggest that approximately 5% of the human genome has been conserved by evolution since the divergence of those species approximately 200 million years ago, containing the vast majority of genes and regulatory sequences.
The human mitochondrial genome, while usually not included when referring to the "human genome", is of tremendous interest to geneticists, since it undoubtedly plays a role in mitochondrial disease.

 Human brain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Human consciousness involves both the extended capacity of the modern neocortex in particular as well as profoundly developed prototypical structures of the brain stem.
Finally, and perhaps most significantly, the human brain appears hard-wired with certain abilities, such as the ability to learn language, to interact with experienced and not chosen emotions, and usually develops within a culture.
Further, the molecular and cell biological examination of brain pathology is hindered by the scarcity of appropriate samples for study, the (usual) inability to biopsy the brain from a living person suffering from a malady, and an incomplete description of the brain's microanatomy.

 Human skeleton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 Extinction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Humans have been transporting animals and plants from one part of the world to another for thousands of years, sometimes deliberately (e.g., livestock released by sailors onto islands as a source of food) and sometimes accidentally (e.g., rats escaping from boats).
Extinction of a species may come suddenly when an otherwise healthy species is wiped out completely, as when toxic pollution renders its entire habitat unlivable; or may occur gradually over thousands or millions of years, such as when a species gradually loses out competition for food to newer, better adapted competitors.
Extinction (or replacement) of species by a daughter species plays a key role in the punctuated equilibrium hypothesis of Stephen Jay Gould and Niles Eldredge.

 Human capital - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Human capital is substitutable: it will not replace land, labor, or capital totally, but it can be substituted for them to various degrees and be included as a separate variable in a production function.
Human capital is a way of defining and categorizing peoples' skills and abilities as used in employment and otherwise contribute to the economy.
In this view, human capital is similar to "physical means of production", e.g., factories and machines: one can invest in human capital (via education, training, medical treatment) and one's income depends partly on the rate of return on the human capital one owns.

 Earwax - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cerumen is produced in the outer third of the cartilaginous portion of the human ear canal.
The cleaning of ears is thus considered an act of intimacy, often performed by a mother to a child, or among adults, by one's lover.
Cells formed in the centre of the tympanic membrane migrate outwards from the umbo (at a rate equivalent to that of fingernail growth) to the walls of the ear canal, and accelerate towards the entrance of the ear canal.
