nonhuman
Beyond our species
Nonhuman describes anything that isn't a person—animals, plants, machines, spirits, or extraterrestrial life.
The term often appears in contexts distinguishing human concerns from broader categories: nonhuman primates, nonhuman actors in climate change.
In philosophy and animal rights discourse, it frames questions about which beings deserve moral consideration: the rights of nonhuman animals.
