Humans, also called the Edain, Atani, Homo sapiens, or Men, were a race of short-lived and sentient beings that lived on Arda. Along with the Hobbits and Woses, Humans are one of the Hildor, the races that came after or followed the elves awakening and were given mortal fates.

Terms[]

The Humans that lived on the planet Arda were mostly called Men, in Quenya Atani or in Sindarin Edain. They were also called the Usurpers, the Strangers, the inscrutable, the Self-cursed, the Heavyhanded, the Nightfearers and the Children of the Sun.

On Earth, the Humans that lived on this planet were sometimes called Homo sapiens, the primate the scientific name for the human species. Homo is the human genus, and sapiens is the only surviving species of the genus Homo.

Groups and alignments on Arda[]

Although, all the Humans of Arda were related to one another. There were many different groups with different cultures. The most important group in the tales of the First Age were the three houses of the Edenedair or Atanatari, meaning the Fathers of Men. The Elves use it to distinguish those Men who were friendly with elvenkind, and fought with them in the First Age against Morgoth in Beleriand from others. The word Edain or Atani refers to all Humans, Men or Women.

Description[]

Humans can speak hundreds of different languages. Their heights stand between 5'6" and 6'4", 6'4" and 7. Their skin, eye and hair color is varied.

Lifespan[]

For their lifespan, humans attend to live for about 80 - 100 years; some attend to live for more than 200 years when they become ageless, but still mortal.

However, the Human Númenóreans and the Dúnedain lived for more than 215 years. When they reach their full and middle adult maturity, they become ageless. At the age of 200, their hair color begins to grow gray, a sign of when their lifetime is about to end in time.
