anthropic

Relating to humanity

Anthropic means relating to or characteristic of human beings and their existence.

The term appears in scientific and philosophical contexts: the anthropic principle in cosmology suggests that the universe's fundamental constants must be compatible with conscious life, since we're here to observe them.

Anthropic reasoning considers how observer selection effects shape what we can conclude about reality.
