Humans have a robust physiology. They are bipedal mammals and generally strong, fast and agile. They reach physical maturity at around 18 years old. Then they enter the workforce or continue their education for a profession. The average human lifespan is naturally about 79 years, but advanced biotechnology and cybernetics has substantially increased it. [[Progenitor Cells]] are used to restore damage in older human cells and greatly extend human life expectancy. | [[File:Human-Race-Female.png|thumb|250px|Human Female]]Humans have a robust physiology.

Since the late 20th century there's been increased mixing of different human ethnicities. This resulted in certain recessive physical traits becoming rare such as blue and green eyes as well as blonde and red hair. | Since the late 20th century there's been increased mixing of different human ethnicities.

The history and lore of Elite is a continuation of real life modern history. Elite Dangerous takes place 1286 years in the future. In-game time moves at the same speed as real life. | The history and lore of Elite is a continuation of real life modern history. Elite Dangerous takes place 1286 years in the future.

The 22nd century was a time of massive change. Fossils were discovered on Mars proving that life once existed there. Human expansion slowly progressed throughout the solar system. Perhaps the biggest discovery of all time was [[hyperspace]]. The ability to travel faster than light allowed humanity to escape the confines of the solar system. It was discovered in the early 22nd Century, but only since 2800s could consumer ships take advantage of it.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/586f796c9657ba3357039d07 Galnet News - Galactic News: Hyperspace, Jan 07 3303]</ref> Hyperspace travel and spaceships became affordable for middle-class people like cars in the 20th century.<ref name=":2" /> | The 22nd century was a time of massive change.

In 2210 the first signals of probes at [[Alpha Centauri]] confirmed a habitable planet existing outside our solar system. From this point on, probes continued to arrive in neighboring star systems and soon life is discovered on Tau Ceti 3. Thus begins a new path of exploration and discovery. With the knowledge that [[Tau Ceti]] could support life, a colony ship was sent there. Before long the first colony to exist outside our star system [[Sol]] was formed. With the proof that life could exist outside Earth, a mass exodus began. Massive ships were constructed to establish human colonies anywhere that may support human life. The expansion of humanity rapidly moved apace crossing the void between star systems. New colonies and ultimately cities were formed. The Federation is dominated by corporations. They control many aspects of life, politics and business within Federation space. Most aspects of life is focused on profit. Whilst [[corporations]] are not above the law, they hold a very wide remit as far as what they're permitted to do in the name of profit concerns. Corruption is the norm rather than the exception. That said, the Federation does respect human life in its own way and much more so than the [[Empire]]. Although the Federation doesn't respect freedom as much as the [[Alliance]]. <ref name=":1" /> | In 2210 the first signals of probes at [[Alpha Centauri]] confirmed a habitable planet existing outside our solar system.

They originated from the single-star system [[Sol]] and the terrestrial planet Earthin the Orion-Cygnus Arm of the [[galaxy|Milky Way]]. Humans have created more bubbles in deep space such as [[Colonia]]. | Humans primarily reside in a colonized region colloquially known as "the Bubble", which contains about 19,000 [[Star Systems|star systems]].

As it has been throughout recorded history, mankind is not very prone to agreement over ethical, political, religious, and economic views. It remains this way today in the 34th Century, with the realm of human-colonized space held by numerous groups under various ideals, some benevolent and others not quite as much. | As it has been throughout recorded history, mankind is not very prone to agreement over ethical, political, religious, and economic views.
