Human
Humans, or human beings, are
bipedal primates belonging to the
mammalian species Homo sapiens (
Latin: "wise man" or "knowing man") in the family
Hominidae (the great
apes). Compared to other living organisms on Earth, humans have a
highly developed brain capable of abstract
reasoning,
language, and
introspection. This mental capability, combined with an erect body carriage that frees their upper limbs for manipulating objects, has allowed humans to make far greater use of
tools than any other species.
DNA evidence indicates that modern humans originated in
Africa about 200,000 years ago, and they now inhabit every
continent,
with a total population of over 6.6 billion
as of 2007.

−Human
"−Human" (pronounced "Minus Human") is a song by
Metallica from their album
S&M. The song (along with "
No Leaf Clover") was one of two new pieces completed for the band's collaboration with the
San Francisco Symphony in
1999. Written by
James Hetfield and
Lars Ulrich, "−Human" was said by Metallica to be similar to "
Sad But True" in construction (in that the primary focus of the song is on the guitar riff). The demo name for the song was "Plod". Abbreviated as "-Human" it was the fourth song played in the second part of S&M concert after "
For Whom the Bell Tolls". The song features an intro from the orchestra, and then enters the main riff. In the S&M documentary,
Kirk Hammett said that "It was a bit wobbly here and there and none of the parts are particularly finalized." According to Lars Ulrich, "-Human" was written in two weeks.
