posthumans
Evolved beyond humanity
Posthumans are beings that have evolved or been enhanced beyond current human limitations—through genetic engineering, cybernetic augmentation, or technological merger.
The term appears in science fiction and transhumanist philosophy to describe what humanity might become: In that future, posthumans had transcended biological constraints entirely.
The concept raises questions about identity, consciousness, and what defines humanity.
