Humans (known taxonomically as Homo sapiens,Latin for "wise man" or "knowing man") are the only living species in the Homo genus. Anatomically modern humans originated in Africa about 200,000 years ago, reaching full behavioral modernity around 50,000 years ago.
Humans have a highly developed brain and are capable of abstract reasoning, language, introspection, and problem solving. This mental capability, combined with an erect body carriage that frees the hands for manipulating objects, has allowed humans to make far greater use of tools than any other living species on Earth. Other higher-level thought processes of humans, such as self-awareness, rationality, and sapience, are considered to be defining features of what constitutes a "person".
Humans are uniquely adept at utilizing systems of communication for self-expression, the exchange of ideas, and organization. Humans create complex social structures composed of many cooperating and competing groups, from families and kinship networks, 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. With individuals widespread in every continent except Antarctica, humans are a cosmopolitan species. As of November 2011[update], the human population was estimated by the United Nations Population Division to be about 7 billion, and by the United States Census Bureau to be about 6.97 billion.
Death in the name of a religion
Its provenance unknown
Violence in the name of a political idea
Who created it? unknown
Fascism, nationalism, racism, attack
Against the different, the unique
Against black, yellow, white and red
Condemned to subhuman logic
Who planted these ideas to the "slaves"?
Homo sapiens?
When did they exist?
Only exceptions
Of ego's comprehension
And of uniqueness
Homo sapiens?
Our fur has fallen
But we still got
The stones in our hands
Homo sapiens?
