Human Beings or Humans are the inhabitants of planet Earth in Dragon Ball. They are lead by the King of Earth, King Furry. The only "normal" human whose power level was reported was a farmer, who Raditz said had a power level of 5. But still, there exist some very powerful humans, such as Master Roshi, Tien Shinhan, Olibu, Krillin, Chiaotzu, Yamcha, Tao, Master Shen and Yajirobe, and especially Uub, later Majuub. These human fighters are also Z Fighters (with the exception of Olibu, Tao and Master Shen.) Some speculate that Saiyans are also part of the human species. This is derived from the fact that Saiyans and normal Humans are able to produce fertile offspring (Gohan). This could mean that all full blooded Saiyans such as Goku and Vegeta as well as all partial Saiyans, such as Gohan and Trunks, are human as well. Nevertheless, it should be noted that the Dragonball series is not known for its accuracy in regards to science, and as such, this conjecture should be taken with a grain of salt.

[edit] Overview

With the exception of the uncommon hair colors and occasionally odd features (ranging from longer lifespans to werewolfism) Dragon Ball humans are identical to their real-life counterparts. Humans in Dragon Ball seem to be able to utilize or be affected by certain elements of magic. Toriyama himself has admitted to lack of forethought or planning when it comes to the details of Dragon Ball's story, which accounts for some of the strange occurrences.

The Humans of Dragon Ball have a large military, which has appeared through out the series, mostly consisting of ground troops, tanks, fighter jets, and large naval ships. Earth's military usually appears when attempting to defeat many of the villains that cause massive damage to the Earth (examples being Cell and Majin Buu), but are always easily wiped out without causing any form of damage to the super villains. It could be assumed that large scale wars have taken place in the Dragon World, much like they have in the real world. However, since the Dragon World is united into a single, global monarchy, it is unknown what purpose the military serves when villains are not terrorizing the earth that police cannot handle (or, perhaps, King Piccolo's original appearance some 300 years before the events of Dragon ball encouraged the then-king to create a military for just such purposes)

When compared to other races of Dragon Ball, average earthling humans are significantly weak. It is said that a single Saiyan infant would be capable of destroying the earthling average human population on its own. However, a select few earthling humans have learned to use ki and are among the strongest beings in the universe. Even with such abilities, this select group of humans are still considerably weaker than many aliens with the same ki-manipulation abilities. As stated in the manga, it's possible for any human to use their ki and gain powers like the Z Fighters. For example, Gohan easily teaches Videl how to use ki to fly.

Mr. Satan is considered to be the strongest of the non-powerful earthling humans, but in reality pales in comparison to humans like Krillin and Yamcha, who possess a lot more power. However, this is mostly due to the fact that these humans were granted more opportunities to increase their strength; for example, Krillin has his potential unlocked artificially by Guru and was trained by Master Roshi, and Yamcha trains under King Kai. All of the human Z-Fighters climb Korin Tower and trained under Kami, all things that Mr. Satan never had the chance to do.
