Human: No measured body size data available to draw at scale.
- · Grid units represent actual meters (m); human and animals are drawn to the exact same scale with original silhouette aspect ratios preserved.
- · When a size range is recorded (e.g. 1–1.6m), the lower bound is used for scale comparison.

💡 Everyday Comparisons for Size, Mass & Speed
- 💡 Bread, cheese, and beer eaten by humans are fermented foods made using fungi such as yeast (ADW diet notes).
- 💡 An average gestation period of 40 weeks is just over nine months on the calendar (Comparison).
- 💡 How cities arose after the start of farming and greatly changed the habitats available to nearby organisms can also be seen in local rice paddies, fields, and apartment complexes.

📖 1. Overview
The Human is a primate belonging to the family Hominidae that lives across almost every terrestrial environment and notably modifies its habitats.
🦴 2. Anatomy & Morphology
It is characterized by walking on two legs and having very little coarse body hair, while body size varies widely with environmental factors such as nutrition. Males are generally larger and more muscular than females.
🔍 3. Ecology & Behavior
It eats a highly varied omnivorous diet depending on the region, and after agriculture began about 10,000 years ago, societies concentrated in cities. Gestation averages 40 weeks, usually producing a single infant.
🇰🇷 4. Connection to Korea
No direct record connecting this species to Korea has been found.
