== [[Fan Fiction]] ==
* In ''[[Renegade (fanfic)|Renegade]]'' (a ''[[Mass Effect]]//[[Command and& Conquer]]'' [[Fusion Fic]]), mankind survived living on a planet where, thanks to the Scrin and their [[Green Rocks]], [[Death World|the ground was trying to eat them.]] Naturally, this coupled with [[Humans Are Warriors|humans constantly being at war]] made humanity [[HAD to Be Sharp|even tougher]]. Even the [[Proud Warrior Race Guy|krogan]] respect humans.
 
== [[Film]] ==
Line 18:
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* In ''[[Doctor Who]]'' the human race not only outlasts the planet Earth, but manages to survive until the end of the Universe. Unfortunately things went downhill after that.
** In "Evolution of the Daleks", Dalek Sec {{spoiler|merges with a human to become a [[Half-Human Hybrid]]}} specifically because [[Humans Are Survivors]] {{spoiler|and wants to impart that resilience to a new generation of Daleks}}. At first he believes this is because of humanity's ambition and "genius for war", but eventually thinks it's because of humanity's better qualities instead.
* ''[[Firefly]]''. Like ''[[Titan A.E.]]'', we take to the stars.
 
== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
* ''[[Dungeons and& Dragons]]'' 4th Edition uses this trope as part of its (successful) attempt to take humans from being simply [[The Mario]] to being [[Humans Are Special]], and it crops up all over the game's human-specific support material. In fact, it would not be far off base to wager that a full third or more of human specific feats, as well as the racial paragon path, are devoted to setting up human beings as hyper-adaptable, survival [[Determinator|Determinators]]s, either (read: usually) by adding bonuses to saving throws, or occasionally more directly by adding HP or defense bonuses. Seriously, some of the humans' most iconic feats have names like: Human Perseverance, Die Hard, Human Resolve, Frantic Recovery, Don't Count Me Out...you get the idea.
 
== [[Truth in Television]] ==
* In the time that humans have been on this Earth,<ref>which is admittedly brief compared to the many, ''many'' other species on Earth that exist today but predate us by millions of years</ref>, we have experienced global drought, Ice Ages, drastic changes in sea level and weather patterns, numerous global epidemics, natural disasters, and many, many, many wars.
** And we're still here.
*** And for better or worse, there's more of us than ever before.
** More noteworthy is the range of biomes - from deserts to tundra and from waves to icecaps. The only other thing so all-pervasive is cyanobacteria, and even then depending on how you count.
