    By “human” you might mean

    1. an animal whose DNA falls within a specific probability distribution, or
    2. an animal that embodies various virtues or transcendental capacities, etc.

    We should acknowledge that countless creatures meet condition 1 but not 2. So what?

      Your second definition is usually referred to as “person”, not “human”.
