Science / / July 04, 2021
Human beings are living beings that have the ability to think, the concept of human being derives from the Latin word humus, (earth), and is established in the context that man comes from the land.
It is derived from the concept of origin or derivation, translating into "from the earth", and is applied as a distinctive of the native entities of the planet and as an application to the rights of those from the land.
The human being and its characteristics
Intelligence.- The first characteristic that can be distinguished from the human being is that of thinking, it is unique among all beings alive and until this moment it has not been possible to couple in other living beings, who act through instinct. This ability has led him to achieve unsuspected processes for the rest of living beings. He builds his houses and grows his own food, raises his protein source and is able to heal himself.
Longevity.- Another aspect that human beings have is the ability to live a long time. Although there are other living entities that live longer, such as turtles, in general, human beings are the longest.
Reproduction.- The reproduction of the human being, even being of instinctual origin, can also be planned; This aspect cannot be found in the rest of the living beings, who leave out their criteria in the face of instinctual impulses.
Pleasure.- The human being is also the only one who produces and even industrializes pleasures, loses the sense of the natural to be able to extreme physical pleasures, which in a short term leads him to consume his own life (drug addiction, prostitution, homicide),
Moral.- The moral aspect is an exclusive concept of the human being, and this in particular is linked to the will, criteria and culture of the man or woman who exercises it.
Collective soul.- The human being, regardless of being the thinking entity par excellence, also falls into an instinctive phenomenon, and when he acts collectively, he follows a leader, provoking great movements such as revolutions, strikes and social movements, which even if they do not fully understand, can produce the effects of the irredeemable masses.
Discrimination.- Discrimination, both partial and total, is another aspect that only the human being as a species has. (Criteria have been established in which they argue that the human being follows some pre-existing lines in his instinct), although it has not been confirmed, these influence in distancing what is different from what they know, producing discrimination towards homosexuals, thieves, murderers, or people of other races (both racism from white to black and from black to white).
This phenomenon is very difficult to control in humans, and despite the creation of laws it is very difficult for you to follow or carry them out.
Piety.- Piety is also only presented in terms of thought in humans, in animals there is something similar, but it is merely instinctive.
Worship of deities.- As far as it is known, the belief in divinities, gods and higher entities, has only been presented in human beings. This is a psychological phenomenon that has been studied since the beginning of humanity and that until now has no absolute answer.
Art.- Art is an activity that only the human species has. This is characterized by admiring the harmony of the figures and artifacts that are made by the human being himself.
Sciences.- They are an artifice created by the human mind, they cannot even be used by living beings and other species such as monkeys or dogs.
Evolution.- Evolution is an accelerated aspect in the human being, it allowed him to walk upright, develop completely opposite fingers, skin color, height and strength.
Language.- Animals have language, but it is merely instinctive, while in man language is created by man himself; This is learned and taught, and even though it is artificial, it is closely linked to the animal nature of the human being.
Feeding.- Men are naturally carnivorous or more specifically insectivorous, but they have developed artificially the consumption and mixture of plants, fruits and animals, becoming an omnivorous animal, an aspect by which its brain developed more than the rest of animals.
The consumption of meat is linked to the fact that man was initially a hunter and later developed agriculture and livestock.
Domestication.- Domestication is one of the exclusive activities of man that has led him to solve and confront animals larger than him.
Physical characteristics of the human being:
The human being as a biological entity has certain characteristics that distinguish it from other living beings and that place it as dominant.
Height.- Height is a fundamental part of the human being, it ranges from 1.45 m to 1.80 m, although it is capable of having a higher height.
View.-The vision of the human being is frontal (hunter's vision), this vision and his upright position allow him to see over the plants. The vision is not as developed as that of felines, but it is very broad; human beings can be visually impaired; among these failures we will count myopia, astigmatism and glaucoma.
Position.- The posture of men is upright on their two feet, the weight is distributed throughout the spine, and even allows you to lift heavy weights and run at an average speed of 26 kilometers per hour.
Hands.- Human hands have five fingers and the thumb is opposite to the rest, it can be differentiated widely of apes in general because the thumb is longer and allows to grip things more perfect.
Brain.- The human brain is more developed than that of other living beings, its reasoning capacity has allowed it so much to conquer all vicissitudes that have been presented to him and he is the only living entity that is capable of effectively healing himself same.
The cranial capacity of the human being ranges between 1600 and 1500 cubic centimeters in man and between 1500 and 1400 cubic centimeters in the average woman, although high measurements are increasingly occurring in women First Worldists.
Breeds and variants:
There are mainly three races in men
- Asian
- White
- Black and
These are usually subdivided or can include diverse races such as indigenous or Native Americans (estimated to come from Asia), or Australoids (estimated to be a single race).
