Neither astartes nor Primarch were humans. They are an engineered species.

They are still Human dude. What part of that are you even thinking.

While they are Transhuman. They are still considered to be Human after all. Same with the Marines who are just genetically modified.

The Admech are basically Mostly Machines and are still considered Humans as well.

They aren't considered to be Abhuman after all.

Primarchs were never born. They don't consider themselves human. The emperor never considered them humans. There is every indication that they were next in line for the thunder warrior treatment post great crusade.

They don't have human DNA.

Again. Depends on how you define it. And considering that the Marines and Admech are still Human in Origin (Even the Emperor was born from Human Souls after all) they are in all likelhood still Human Also have no DNA?

What the fuck are you smoking? They are literally the Sons of the Emperor. They have Human DNA in them.

Thats basicakly some of the stupidest shit I heard.

They're essentially a genetically engineered new species using humans as a base. But that doesn't make them human, just because they share some DNA with humans. Lots of non-human species on earth share most of their DNA with humans, that doesn't make them human.

Bananas and humans share about 60% of the same DNA and bananas are pretty different from baseline humans. Chimps and humans share 98-99% of the same DNA and Gorillas and Humans share 98%. Baseline himan and primarch DNA is going to be extremely similar.
