Not human. Proto-human, maybe. But no more human than the small rodents scurrying between the legs of dinosaurs. To me, “human” means the ability to comprehend “I am.” I doubt this poor creature was capable of that.

I dunno. If you look at a bonobo's eyes it sure looks like somebody's home. This guy might have been pretty close to a bonobo.

Let’s see the rest of the skeleton and then maybe it can be determined whether it walked upright or not.

Where the skull attaches to the spine is a pretty good indicator of bipedalism.
