# How to Enable or Disable Humans on Your The Isle Evrima Server (/docs/the-isle-evrima/enable-humans)

The Isle Evrima includes a **playable Human** option (hunters with rifles, traps, and equipment) as a counterpart to dinosaurs. By default on XGamingServer, humans are **disabled** — your server is dinosaurs-only until you flip the switch.
