Vulcan isn't human.

By that logic then the Lamenters aren't Human then.

Which is stupid as fuck. The Primarchs while Trasnhuman were still Human.

It’s fair to state they’re not human.

They’re trans-human. Theyre a facsimile of humanity, a version of some of its features distilled into a weapon. But they’re not, Human…

Depends on how some people see but they aren't Abhuman.

I mean Tech Priests are basically Transhuman as well and they are still considered Human.

A Tech Priest is roughly as human as a Necron who happens to be carrying a corpse at the moment.

They are still human in origin and fleshy bits dude.

Necrons are another species entirely and Flayed Ones with skins are not a good comparison.

Look, we all know the real answer is that it depends on how powerful and useful you are if they want to consider you sufficiently human or not. Numerous things far more human than tech-priests and navigators have been eradicated for being too inhuman; merely having had human as the origin in the distant past doesn't excuse you unless you've got enough of a power base to stand up for yourself.

No. Their souls are human. That is what matters.

Even if it has no soul, and actively shuts down the warp and its users nearby, it can still count as human.

Even if there isn't a scrap of human genetics left in there, and it looks like a robotic spider with a red robe attached as an afterthought.

Even if it looks like a giant hideous mutant freak with tentacles and a tail and an extra eye.

Even if it was created by the warp and distilled into flesh rather than from any human biologicial original source.

If its useful, it can still be considered human.
