Wikipedia article:

The most-common cause of stack overflow is excessively deep or infinite recursion, in which a function calls itself so many times that the space needed to store the variables and information associated with each call is more than can fit on the stack.[2]

If you read the error message, you might spot that it's repeatedly calling the function "spawnHumans", in a recursive manner (spawnHumans calls spawnHumans calls spawnHumans...). If there's no way for this recursion to stop, this is an infinite loop that runs until the stack is overflown, resulting in a crash.

If you want help, post the relevant code from human.lua, or fix the recursion issue yourself.
