'''Humans''' (Latin: ''Homo sapiens'', meaning "wise man") are a [[sentience|sentient]] species native to [[Earth]] and part of the primate family. They are the only extant species of the formerly diverse [[Wikipedia:Homo|human genus]], all species of which were once grouped together as "humanity". Around [[150,000 BCE|150,000]]-[[110,000 BCE]], before the [[human-Forerunner war]]s, humanity had achieved [[Technological Achievement Tiers|Tier 1 of technological achievement]], on par with the [[Forerunner]]s, although their catastrophic defeat by the Forerunners would see them reduced to a pre-industrial state as hunter-gatherer tribes, forced to achieve technological sophistication again.<ref name="cryptum">'''Halo: Cryptum'''</ref> By the mid-26th century, they would have been rated as a Tier 3 race, though it is possible they may have advanced to a higher Tier 2 after the [[Human-Covenant War]] by means of weapons research and development.<ref name="bestiarum">'''[[Halo 3]]''', ''[[Bestiarum]]''</ref>
