Modern humans are more specifically classified as homo sapiens sapiens.
Humans now inhabit every continent including [[Antarctica]], with a total population of over 6.5 billion as of 2007.
Evolutionists believe that "modern" humans have been around for approximately 130,000 years<ref>Alemseged Z, Coppens Y, Geraads D (2002). "Hominid cranium from Omo: Description and taxonomy of Omo-323-1976-896". Am J Phys Anthropol 117 (2): 103-12.</ref>.
Creationists believe that humans have been around since the sixth day of creation.
== Characteristics ==
Humans are characterized by a highly developed [[brain]] capable of abstract reasoning, [[language]], and introspection. This mental capability, combined with a body suitable for standing erect such that their upper limbs are free to manipulating objects, allows humans to make far greater use of tools than any other species.

Humans have more [[hair]] follicles than chimpanzees, one of the next most similar species, but shorter finer hair in most body areas makes this hard to see. Hair and skin colour varies according to the amount of melanin, a pigment that helps protect skin from the sun. Originally an adaptation to climate, pigment variation is now found globally.
