Notes on Meaning
- "Giống người" specifically denotes the human species as a biological entity. It is neutral in tone.
- It should not be confused with "giống người" in a potentially derogatory or science-fiction context (e.g., "alien species resembling humans"), which would be a different interpretation based on context. The primary and standard meaning is "human race."
