'''Humans'' (Latin: Homo sapiens, meaning "wise man") are an intelligent race native to the planet [[Earth]] and are apart of the primate family.  
'''Humans''' are a sapient species native to the planet [[Earth]].<ref>[https://db.destinytracker.com/d1/destinations/2468353467-old-russia-earth ''Director planet blurb'']</ref>
 
==Overview==
The remaining humans are all that survive of a race whose reach once spanned the [[Solar System]], having descended from those who endured the apocalyptic [[Collapse]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Places/The City#The Dark Age|The Dark Age]]''</ref> Since then, they have fought to restore our toppled civilization to its [[Golden Age]] splendor<ref>'''Bungie (2017/9/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [http://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/coldheart Cold Heart]''</ref> — first by the legendary [[Iron Lords]],<ref>'''Bungie (2016/20/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Plaguelands]] [[Story|Story Mission]]''</ref> and more recently by the [[Guardian]]s.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Guardian/Classes#Guardians|Guardians]]''</ref>


==History==
==History==
[[File:Destiny-art12.jpg|right|200px|thumb|The city below the Traveler.]]
During the 21st Century, humanity made [[Ares One|first contact]] with the mysterious entity that would later come to be known as the [[Traveler]], the arrival of which ushered in a centuries-long Golden Age that saw humans colonize the newly remade worlds of Sol including [[Mercury]], [[Venus]], [[Mars]],<ref name="A Guardian Rises>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[A Guardian Rises]]''</ref> and even the moons of [[Jupiter]] and [[Saturn]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Places/Jupiter#Jupiter|Jupiter]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard''</ref>
Before the events of ''[[Destiny]]'', humanity had gained considerable technological advancement. This technological advancement led to a [[Golden Age]], with much of the Sol System being completely colonised. This "Golden Age" did not last. Humanity was attacked by an unknown faction or entity, which decimated human forces, until almost all human settlements were completely destroyed. The last human remnants were saved from a similar fate by the [[Traveler]], a spherical entity of unknown power, which is said to have sacrificed itself to stop this enemy. After the sacrifice of the Traveler, humanity began to re-explore its old empire, creating a [[Last City|city]] beneath its resting place. <ref name="ViDoc">[http://www.bungie.net/7_Pathways-Out-Of-Darkness/en-us/News/News?aid=10241 '''Bungie.net''' ''Pathways out of Darkness'']</ref>
 
But this Golden Age would not last. Unbeknownst to humanity, the Traveler had an ancient enemy;<ref name="A Guardian Rises"/> a powerful [[Darkness]] that precipitated the Collapse and nearly wiped out mankind,<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire:Enemies/Darkness#The Darkness|The Darkness]]''</ref> if not for the intervention of the Traveler who sacrificed itself to push back the assailing Darkness.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXDmX5rJC8E Destiny Prologue]''</ref> And with its dying breath, the Traveler created [[Ghosts]]<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Guardian/Ghost#Ghosts|Ghosts]]''</ref> to seek out those worthy to carry on its task.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, Item Description, [http://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/cry-defiance-3 Cry of Defiance]''</ref>
 
In the dark decades after the Collapse,<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, Item Description, [http://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/retro-grade-mark Retro-Grade Mark]''</ref> Humans, [[Exos]], and [[Awoken]] found the Traveler where it made its final stand and built the [[City]]<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20150206135229/http://www.destinythegame.com:80/game/story ''2014 Destiny story reveal'']</ref>—the last bastion of mankind—beneath its shadow.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Places/Earth#Earth|Earth]]''</ref> And from an [[Dark Age|age]] of chaos and death began the [[City Age]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Places/The City#The City Age|The City Age]]''</ref>
 
Though its tenuous peace<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/City Factions#Factions|Factions]]''</ref> lasted for the better part of a hundred years,<ref>'''Bungie (2017/28/3)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Age of Triumph]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/Legends_%26_Mysteries#Ghost_Fragment:_Fallen_6|Ghost Fragment: Fallen 6]]''</ref> the City Age would ultimately come to a shattering end in the wake of the devastating [[Cabal]] [[Red War|invasion]]; with the heroic deeds of [[The Guardian]] bringing an end to the [[Red Legion]]'s siege<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard''</ref> and marking the dawn of a new Golden Age.<ref>[https://db.destinytracker.com/d2/ru/vendors/3819664660-executor-hideo Destiny 2 Executor Hideo vendor description]</ref>

By the events of ''Destiny'', humanity was in the process of reclaiming their past empire, with the city as the base of the remnants of their civilisation. The city is constantly under siege from various races who appear to have also made it their goal to claim humanity's now lost empire. These races being the [[Cabal]], the [[Fallen]], and the [[Vex]], who appear to fight humanity for dominance of Earth and the Sol System.

==Trivia==
*According to the Destiny intro cinematic, the Golden Age saw human lifespans tripled.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[A Guardian Rises]]''</ref> Based on current human lifepan statistics, that would suggest humans lived for roughly 237 years on average.


During the golden age, humanity's technological achievement had been high. Interplanetary travel was used frequently, creating an empire throughout the Solar system.

During the events of ''Destiny'', humanity appears to have reclaimed some, if not the entirety of, their former technological prowess, albeit at a smaller scale. <ref name="ViDoc"/> The city's [[Guardians]] can utilise some of the powers of the Traveler, through unknown means. Guardians are split up in three different classes: [[Hunter]], [[Warlock]], and [[Titan]]. All classes have their own special abilities.
