Humans are a race of humanoids native to Earth. They are also referred to as Tellurians by some races such as the Androgum and Lurman. Doctor Who Universe's Humans seem similar to the Humans of real life, though some of them have developed psychic powers. Humans are special in the universe, since they have an innate skill with time travel, rivaling even the Time Lords. (DW: The Quantum Archangel)

Jack Harkness also mentions in Countycide that Humans are the only race to go camping. Weather he was just joking or speaking from experience is unknown.

Influence and Effects

Humans are probably one of the more influential races in the universe. Though not as well traveled as the Time Lords or as powerful as the Daleks, the Human influence was felt throughout the universe. They spread across the universe, setting up colonies, meeting new races and making many advances technologically. In fact, one of the era of the universe (Humanian Era) is named after the Humans.
