what is a human being

Humans, known taxonomically as Homo sapiens
(Latin for “wise man” or “knowing man”)

Anatomically modern-appearing humans originated in Africa about 200,000
years ago.

Humans are noted for their desire to understand and influence their
environment, seeking to explain and manipulate phenomena through science,
philosophy, mythology, and religion. This natural curiosity has led to the
development of advanced tools and skills, which are passed down culturally;
humans are the only species known to build fires, cook their food, clothe
themselves.


Humans are social beings. In comparisons with animalia, humans are regarded like the primates for their social qualities. But beyond any other creature,
humans are adept at utilizing systems of communication for self-expression, the exchange of ideas, and organization, and as such have created complex social structures composed of many cooperating and competing groups. Human groups range 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.

Culture is defined here as patterns of complex symbolic behavior, i.e. all
behavior that is not innate but which has to be learned through social
interaction with others; such as the use of distinctive material and symbolic systems, including language, ritual, social organization, traditions, beliefs and technology.
