Foreal? Why did we get labeled such a weird name.
Why couldn't we have been named something cool?
Like, Cheetos.
Or like, Stormtroppers.
Or maybe, Saiyan's. Then we truly would be super (SEE WHAT I DID DERR?)

Naruto base isn't google.
But the google response
"First off, forget about its coming from 'humando..' That's an infrequently used form of the verb humare, meaning 'to bury.' Without going into detail, 'humando' means 'something which must be buried.'

The word is from Latin 'humanus.' That, in turn, is from the root 'hom-' (meaning: man) plus the suffix '-anus' (meaning: pertaining to). The original 'homanus' was an adjective meaning 'pertaining to a man.' An internal 'o' in Latin might be rendered by a 'u', and the spelling evolved to 'humanus' and then, through French, to English 'human.'"

Latin Roots, And it would be illogical to be named something else.

Questions like this make me worry. Human comes from it's latin root like explained above. Please use your friendly neighborhood Google sometimes.

Human is only in english not in every language so that's not true that we are called humans, we have many names like in Arabic we are called Bashar, in Urdu it is Insaan so if you invent your own language someday you can call us cheetos as well!! XD
