'Human', as has been said above is simply a name of a species and it's pretty easy to determine which individuals are humans and which are not.
If I may humbly suggest, asking instead who or what we might call "people" or "a person" might be a more interesting discussion. What is your criteria for personhood? Sentience? (But then are you still a person if you're in a coma?)

Actually we are also animals but a higher type of animals coz we have wisdom, we know how to reason and we have our own decision.

Our ability to think and rationalize put us high above all the other physical creations of the universe. But when we can reason but refuse to that would put us well below all the others. We are just as humans. And no animals and birds are quite like us.
