I think humanness is emotion.  Wouldn't you agree?

No.  It is a description.   You feeling of humanness is part of being humanness.   Other people’s way of life that you may regard as inhuman is just as much a part of humanness.

The only things that are inhuman are things that are not done by any human ever, or never an attribute of any human ever.   Being trump, for example, is not a thing ever done or an attribute ever possessed by humans.
