Humans are the most common race or Species of Sentient Beings on NS Earth, as well as on other predominantly human settlements in Sol and beyond
Baseline Humans
A 'Baseline human' is considered to be any human that lacks augments of any form, either cybernetic or genetic. If a baseline human is augmented, that human becomes a posthuman, which is a more specific form of metahumanity.
All people in a modern day RL nation are baseline humans, barring those experimenting with basic cybernetic implants. Prosthetics do not classify someone as posthuman because medical prosthetics are intended to return functionality to a person, not grant them superior functionality. Prosthetic legs that increase the speed a user can run or the weight a user can lift classify as an augment and thus make the augmented human using it a posthuman.
