Humans in Faerûn are widespread, can be found in most regions and, in general, are fierce and disagreeable, which can sometimes lead certain other races to view them with contempt. They are renowned for their diversity and ambition, and although they lack specializations like other races, they can excel in many areas. Humans are short-lived compared to races such as the elves and dwarves whose lives can span many centuries.
While there are no natural human subraces, planetouched subspecies of humans have arisen in the Realms. These include the aasimars, genasi, and tieflings. There is also great ethnic diversity between humans in different regions.
