Humans, or human beings, are classified by biologists as [[primates]] belonging to the mammalian species, [[Homo]] sapiens (Latin: "wise man" or "knowing man") in the family Hominidae (the great apes). Humans have possibly been around for between 6,000 and 200,000 years. Humans have a highly developed brain capable of abstract reasoning, language, and introspection. This mental capability, combined with an erect body carriage that frees their upper limbs for manipulating objects, has allowed humans to make far greater use of tools than any other species. Humans now inhabit every continent including [[Antarctica]], with a total population of over 6.5 billion as of 2007.
