Humans (Homo sapiens), also known as Reclaimers are a sapient mammalian species native to Earth.
Humans are notable as the "baseline" sapients - nearly all sapient races are based on their form, either as a result of

History[]
For the the history of the spacefaring civilization composed of multiple sapient hominid species, see Ancient Humanity.
Human history begins circa 4,000 BC
Culture and society[]
Prior to the Human-Covenant War, humanity fully developed several dozen colony worlds, and established at least a minor presence on over 800 more.
Technology[]
While reliant on fossil fuels for much of their history following the industrial revolution, nuclear and hydrogen-powered reactors are now the norm.
Behind the scenes[]
The Ancient Humans of the Halo series provide some issues with human history. In order to fit in with the myriad other series in UE, as well as retain archaeo/paleontological knowledge as an element of UE, the Ancient Humans did not develop their civilization on Earth, leaving it as a "reserve" of sorts, rarely visiting their homeworld. They were not primarily composed of Homo sapiens either - rather, were composed of multiple older members of the genus Homo. The line between Ancient Human and Forerunner becomes blurrier the further back in time one goes. As in real-life science, the definition of "human" varies by organization and individual, thereby fixing the issues between early and current Halo lore.
