He aha te mea nui o te ao, He tangata , He tangata , he tangata

To me, this whakatauki has a significant meaning:
Translated this whakatuki means "What is the most important thing in the word, the human, the human, the human ..."
The translation is right there, the biggest thing in the world is human, Our nature is different, so many things we have discovered , houses were built, language was taught and things are still being discovered  by humans, we are a race who can take care of ourselves. If there weren't human, Elephants would be killing turtles and so on. We make the earth grounded.
