Earthlings

"Of my friend, I can only say this... of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, his was the most... human."

- James T. Kirk

Earthlings are humanoid beings indiginous to the planet Earth. In most situations they are the most dominant life form on the planet. On rare occasion, human begins are either conquered or superceded by another, often advanced race of beings. In the Planet of the Apes mythos, humans brought themselves to near extinction through atomic warfare giving rise to an evolved species of sentient apes that took control of the planet. According to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, humans of Earth, and everything else associated with the planet are considered "Harmless". A revised edition of the guide expanded on the sentiment slightly, upgrading humanity's threat status to "Mostly harmless".
