Possibly a strange question, but does anybody know why I can’t view the observations for “Humans”? I was wondering how many observations of humans there were compared to other species, but it doesn’t show that there are any when I search it. I’ve tried to search the same in the “Identify” tab, just to see if I get the same result, and I do. If there is some way to just look at numbers, that would work also.

They are all casual, so you need to check the box in identity filters.

No, humans should not be marked captive. There are discussions about this on the forum - here’s an [example](https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/captive-cultivated-is-not-just-a-waste-bin/29917). Unchecking “verifiable” should be all you need to do. If you also check captive you won’t get all human observations.
