I could be wrong. I'm willing to see the argument that humans aren't people. Could you explain this further?

Ok I will try. First of all I put A human on the same level as A person. However both of those things are different than being human (note the absence of the article "a"). Now all it takes to be human is having human DNA. So when someone finds a hair it could be human, or it could be from a dog. Your liver is human, your skin is human, and an embryo is human. But there is more to being a person than having human DNA. Things such as communication skills (that doesn't always mean talking).
