Last I checked, when there is enough of a change in certain genetic identifiers, it ceases to be the same species... Does the same genetic makeup, just with a higher tendency towards larger brains make it inhuman? Probably not... Give it enough time and a more exclusive breeding environment, maybe...

(Sorry Joel) :-) Actually, I would say that we use science to determine what is human. What is a viable human? What is a valuable human? What is a worthwhile human, are really the questions you are attempting to ask.
