      I don’t think there will be other beings that we would consider to be human. Being “human” is a very strict definition, and even species like monkeys, which are very similar to us in a lot of ways, do not meet the criteria for being human. There may be species out there who are as intelligent as us (or even much more intelligent) and may even share some physical characteristics with humans like bipedal walking or a similar body size, but I don’t think they would have the same genetic code that we define as human.
