A humanoid (/ˈhjuːmənɔɪd/; from English human and -oid "resembling") is something that has an appearance resembling a human being. The earliest recorded use of the term, in 1870, referred to indigenous peoples in areas colonized by Europeans. By the 20th century, the term came to describe fossils which were morphologically similar, but not identical, to those of the human skeleton. Although this usage was common in the sciences for much of the 20th century, it is now considered rare. More generally, the term can refer to anything with uniquely human characteristics and/or adaptations, such as possessing opposable anterior forelimb-appendages (thumbs), visible spectrum-binocular vision (having two eyes), or biomechanic digitigrade-bipedalism (the ability to walk on heels in an upright position).
Although there are no known humanoid species outside the genus Homo, the theory of convergent evolution speculates that different species may evolve similar traits, and in the case of a humanoid these traits may include intelligence and bipedalism and other humanoid skeletal changes, as a result of similar evolutionary pressures. American psychologist and Dinosaur intelligence theorist Harry Jerison suggested the possibility of sapient dinosaurs. In a 1978 presentation at the American Psychological Association, he speculated that dromiceiomimus could have evolved into a highly intelligent species like human beings. In his book, Wonderful Life, Stephen Jay Gould argues that if the tape of life were re-wound and played back, life would have taken a very different course.Simon Conway Morris counters this argument, arguing that convergence is a dominant force in evolution and that since the same environmental and physical constraints act on all life, there is an "optimum" body plan that life will inevitably evolve toward, with evolution bound to stumble upon intelligence, a trait of primates, crows, and dolphins, at some point.

That said, you're full of it
All of men made to fail properly holding your grudge
That said, you're full of shit
Try accepting this what I face today

Fade out next to lazy
End it all within

Last burned, we'll grab up in from a fault that not known
Hate at work, but love a sin
The summer came, juxtapose all the sounds of this home
But don't complain to beat again
Try accepting this what I face today

If only the crying could heal
I'd sell my left arm to buy passion
If only apologies worked
Well, I could find some reasons
Why maybe you wouldn't be so ill? So ill
Sorry your souls, so fucking shallow
It's creeping outside, outside of its hole
It's trying to see, say it, fake this reality
What I face today
Forever want to crawl out
Fade out next to lazy
End it all within
