Line 36:
* [[Heroes Want Redheads]]: Trigger and Heslet Quillan.
* [[Hunting the Most Dangerous Game]]: Played with in ''Novice'' with humans hunting crest cats, who (unbeknownst to the humans) are intelligent beings. However, the crest cats are having enormous fun hunting the humans right back.
** At the end of the story the burgeoning crest cat rebellion is headed off by Telzey's proving their sentience to the planetary government and negotiating a peace treaty... that does ''not'' ban the hunting of crest cats. Instead, it merely bans the hunting of crest cats from aircars or other positions where the crest cats cannot reach them. So long as the cats have an even chance vs. the humans, they're perfectly happy with it.
* [[Humans Are Psychic in the Future]]: The Hub stories have a significant number of psychic characters, even though psis are still only a tiny fraction of the human race. However, they are numerous enough that the Federation Psychology Service has spent centuries making sure that rogue psis don't screw up the status quo too badly. A character in one story explicitly mentions that humanity only developed psi powers when it started spreading to other planets, and speculates about how the two events might be connected.
* [[Humans Are Warriors]]: the epilogue to ''The Demon Breed'' concludes that Humans Are Dangerous, Leave Them Alone.
