Life is a characteristic distinguishing physical entities having biological processes, such as signaling and self-sustaining processes, from those that do not, either because such functions have ceased, or because they never had such functions and are classified as .

Various forms of life exist, such as plants, animals, fungi, protists, archaea, and bacteria.

The criteria can at times be ambiguous and may or may not define viruses, viroids, or potential artificial life as "living".

Biology is the primary science concerned with the study of life, although many other sciences are involved.

Modern humans (Homo sapiens, primarily ssp.

Homo sapiens sapiens) are the only extant members of Hominina tribe (or human tribe), a branch of the tribe Hominini belonging to the family of great apes.

They are characterized by erect posture and bipedal locomotion; manual dexterity and increased tool use, compared to other animals; and a general trend toward larger, more complex brains and societies.

Biodiversity, a contraction of "biological diversity," generally refers to the variety and variability of life on Earth.

One of the most widely used definitions defines it in terms of the variability within species, between species, and between ecosystems.

It is a measure of the variety of organisms present in different ecosystems.

This can refer to genetic variation, ecosystem variation, or species variation (number of species) within an area, biome, or planet.

Terrestrial biodiversity tends to be greater near the equator, which seems to be the result of the warm climate and high primary productivity.

Biodiversity is not distributed evenly on Earth, and is richest in the tropics.

These tropical forest ecosystems cover less than 10 per cent of earths surface, and contain about 90 percent of the worlds species.

Marine biodiversity tends to be highest along coasts in the Western Pacific, where sea surface temperature is highest and in the mid-latitudinal band in all oceans.

There are latitudinal gradients in species diversity.

Biodiversity generally tends to cluster in hotspots, and has been increasing through time, but will be likely to slow in the future.

Attention is the behavioral and cognitive process of selectively concentrating on a discrete aspect of information, whether deemed subjective or objective, while ignoring other perceivable information.

It is the taking possession by the mind in clear and vivid form of one out of what seem several simultaneous objects or trains of thought.

Focalization, concentration of consciousness are of its essence.

Attention has also been referred to as the allocation of limited processing resources.
