human species
All of us
Human species refers to Homo sapiens, the biological classification for all modern humans as a single species.
The term emphasizes our shared evolutionary heritage and genetic unity despite superficial variations in appearance across populations.
It appears most often in scientific, anthropological, or philosophical contexts when distinguishing humans from other animals or when discussing humanity as a collective.
Climate change poses an existential threat to the human species.
Tool use helped the human species dominate the planet.
