Your inquiry seems a bit confused. Classification of homo sapiens is a matter of taxonomy (biology) and not under the purview of anthropology (leaving aside for the moment that I have no idea what secular humanist anthropology is).
The genetic code is what distinguishes any particular species from another. What I think you might be really after is how the differences between particular genetic codes give rise to varying ostensible traits. Do we possess cognitive traits that vary only in degree? Or do we possess cognitive traits that are wholly unique?
I vehemently disagree with your assertion that a secular humanist be able to unpack the confusion laid out above. One just simply needs to be able to differentiate a human from a non-human which doesn't require the explanation you deem fundamental. Do you understand what secular humanism is? Or are you just throwing it out because you've heard it packaged as a euphemism for atheist? The reason I ask is because you used it as an adjective for anthropology.
Why not let's discuss what humanism is. Secular humanism is simply humanism without the need for a god. I'm sure you've heard "you don't need god to be good" before.
