Are you really talking about humancentrism, or do you mean anthropocentrism?

Maybe you should first explain what it means to you.

I don't know what defines it, a characteristic would be fucked up but that's not necessarily definitive.

Putting humanity above all other values an article might have. A very translatable example would be the Cerberus organization in the Mass Effect universe. A link follows:

http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Cerberus

Please note that 'human' and 'person' are not one and the same.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

I think it would be a mistake to characterize it via a single variable.
