I also had an idea fer this (uh-oh. run! hide! ;)... I use the optional
split karma pool and what I do is this:
1) All metahumans get 1 karma point in each pool
2) humans get 2 karma points in each pool
3) humans get 1 "level" (for lack of a better word) of Exceptional
Ability Edge for free

You know what? out of 10 PCs only one is human ... I personally think
this optional rule gives humans an edge (no pun intended).
