It is made clear by Harbinger itself that humans are special. Its not like humans are getting high-and-mighty or something, Harbingor acually points out why other races were not chosen. Humans are adaptive, with impressive genetic variation and capabilities. And one killed Sovereign. Besides if you wanted easy targets, why not chose a different race. Humans have a powerful military, the other races are trying to rebulid their forces, they are just as good targets. Or why not batarians, since their are a lot of batarian thugs that would not be missed and their homeworld cannot rely on the Citadel to back them up?
