non-humans
Not people, technically
Non-humans are living creatures other than people—animals, and by extension, any entity that isn't human.
The term appears in philosophical discussions about consciousness and rights: Do non-humans deserve moral consideration?
In science fiction, non-humans include aliens and sentient robots.
The hyphen is standard; *nonhumans* appears occasionally.
