Humans are a playable race in almost every game, which is a complete mystery to most. If you're going to imagine your character as a gun/spellslinging, wall-vaulting, asskicking superman, what's the point of suddenly slapping that little bit of realism in there? Therefore, they are largely overlooked in most games (except for 3.5e D&D players who HAD to have that extra first-level feat).
Humans are represented in most games as the most balanced, versatile race, which is a blatant bit of self-flattery and can be read to mean that they suck equally at everything. Except for having one more skill point per level than everyone else (again, 3.5e).
