==Overview==
Humans are one of the most prodigious races of the galaxy and are known for their ability to colonize almost any world as well as easily reproduce, unlike the likes of the [[Eldar]] who lived on carefully cultivated worlds and are slow to multiply.{{Fn|12}}{{Fn|19}} Compared to older races such as the Eldar and [[Necron]]s , Humans are short-lived, living only a few decades naturally.{{Fn|9}} [[Kin]] consider the average Human lifespan in [[M42]] to be around 53 years.{{Fn|18}} However Humans possess [[Juvenat]] medical treatments which can extend that lifespan to several centuries for those with the status and wealth.{{Fn|10}}
Despite their presence across the galaxy, Humans are physically slow and clumsy when compared to the [[Eldar]]{{Fn|11}}, who also regard them as far less mentally advanced.{{Fn|12}} [[Necron]]s hold a similar view, looking down on Humans as primitive and dimwitted barbarians.{{Fn|9}} They also pale in strength and resilience when compared to the likes of the [[Ork]]s.{{Fn|13}} Even newer races such as the [[Tau]] consider humans to be reckless and barbaric.{{Fn|17}}
