Humanism was a Human philosophy. The cloning of perfect specimen prototypes into a master race was considered anti-humanistic. This belief ultimately led to the exile of Stavos Keniclius, a proponent of such a cloning project. (TAS: "The Infinite Vulcan") Humanism was a major influence on Star Trek, which was explicitly designed to promote Humanist values. San Francisco was also chosen as capital of the Federation based on how well it was considered to embody those values. (citation needed • [ edit])
