Humans are the galaxy's most numerous and politically dominant sentient species with millions of major and minor colonies galaxywide. Believed to have originated on the galactic capital of Coruscant, they can be found anywhere, engaged in many different pursuits: spacers, mercenaries, smugglers, merchants, soldiers, assassins, farmers, crime lords, laborers, slavers, slaves and many others. Since Humans are the most common sentient species, they are often considered to be a standard or average to which the biology, psychology, and culture of other species were compared.

[edit] Near-Humans

Many species in the Galaxy resembled the Humans in appearance and share many similar traits. While not considered simply a sub-species of the Human family, they are often referred to as Near-Humans. Generally they are believed to have descended from the same ancestors as the Humans have, but there is, and probably never will be, any kind of proof of this theory.

Among the most prominent Near-Human races were the Chalactans, the Kiffar, the Miraluka, the Mirialans, the Sith, and the Zeltrons. All of these were mostly Human in appearance, but had unique and distinct defining characteristics. Often, the biological differences were small enough that Humans and Near-Humans could interbreed. In many cases, it was difficult to tell whether a given population represented a distinct species, or merely a race or ethnic group of baseline Humans.
