Line #53 Main/NotQuiteHuman


1	In SpeculativeFiction, it is very common to have characters who are basically normal humans, except that they aren't human. This SuperTrope/[[IndexIndex index]] is intended to cover all situations where a non-human appears to be human, differing only on a few relatively minor points. The SuperTrope of ''this'' index is FantasticSapientSpeciesTropes.
2
3	Not to be confused with the book series ''Literature/NotQuiteHuman'', which provides an example of this trope, or NotEvenHuman.
4
5	These tropes can be justified in that a species can superficially appear similar to another unrelated species. Humans are no exception.
