How do we define humanity? What is a human being? What does God's Word reveal about what humanity is AND, what do philosopers from time immemorial define humanity, know of any definition they have thought of?

We were created to bring forth an ever advancing civilization.
Man's primary goal should be to know and love God.
We exist ultimately to help our fellow man. Think of you in relation to your family. Hopefully they love you and support you. And you them.
Service to humanity is the highest goal. To come to know yourself and to become self aware will enable you to realize your strengths and better prepare you to help others. Good luck and God bless.

Body, soul and spirit, Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Isaiah 64:6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
Job 5:7 Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.
Job 14:1 Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.
Proverbs 10:11 The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.
Proverbs 21:2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts.
Ecclesiastes 6:7 All the labour of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
Galatians 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

Love thy neighbor as thyself.
This defines humanity and what we must do.
Humanity is the human and their social interaction.
Thus see above.
Love love love, all we need is love.
Peace.

in the context of god, humans are not beings, they are creatures.
and if they are creatures, they have a moral responsibility to obey their creator.
