Humanity+ ''(Humanity plus)'' was founded 1998 and legally incorporated as 2002 as the '''[[World Transhumanist Association]]''' ''(WTA)'' by [[Nick Bostrom]] and [[David Pearce]] to provide a more inclusive transhumanist view compared to other earlier transhumanist views such as [[Extropianism]] and to better engage with academics. The first [[Transhumanist Declaration]] was created at this time by both members of WTA and Extropy Institute and formed a shared set of values between different groups of transhumanists.

In 2002 [[James Hughes]] was elected secretary of the World Transhumanist Association, formalised its structures and began building up a international network of local groups and volunteers<ref name="bostromhistory>[http://www.nickbostrom.com/papers/history.pdf A HISTORY OF TRANSHUMANIST THOUGHT]</ref>

In 2008 the organisation rebranded to Humanity+ and adopted a stylised [[H+|h+]] logo. The rebranding was due to political differences among members of WTA. <ref>[http://metamagician3000.blogspot.co.uk/2008/07/wta-changes-its-image.html adopted]</ref>
