In 2103, the European Space Agency established Lowell City in Eos Chasma on Mars, paving the way for additional settlements and scientific outposts throughout Sol, such as Gagarin Station near Pluto, which was under construction by 2142. In 2069 CE, Armstrong Outpost in Shackleton Crater on Luna was founded as humanity's first extraterrestrial settlement. Human space exploration began in earnest in the late 21st century.

Recessive physical traits like blonde and red hair, as well as blue and green eyes, are even less common in the 22nd century. To this end, with the merging of genetics, certain traits have declined in frequency. This makes human genetic material useful in biological experiments, as a control group.ĭespite the substantial genetic diversity of humans, certain physical traits have been becoming rarer ever since the 19th and 20th centuries, when the mixing of different Earth ethnicities, due to social progression and acceptance, became more commonplace. It has been noted that humans are unusual in the galactic community because they have far greater genetic diversity compared to other species with more peaks and valleys. Humans reach physical maturity at approximately eighteen years of age, at which point they have usually finished their academic education and either directly enter the workforce or begin training for a profession. Humans can live to about 150 years, and recent medical advances have eradicated almost all known diseases that afflict them. All cases of biotics in humans are the result of pre-natal exposure to element zero, which carries a high risk of medical complications. Like most organic races, humans are also capable of producing biotic individuals. Humans would appear on average to be stronger than salarians but not as fast, due to the extremely elevated metabolisms of the latter. In comparison to the Council races, humans are roughly physically on par with turians (as a human in or around peak physical condition can overwhelm a similarly fit turian, making them near equals in a hand-to-hand combat situation), and less agile than asari (whom they closely resemble). Their internal makeup and reproductive processes are typical of most bipedal mammals, and their size and proportions give the appearance of being strong, fast and agile. “I came here looking for soldiers.” - Spoilers for Mass Effect: Revelation follow.
