	Clive  +  303276 Wed, 13 Dec 06 12:29 AM Hi, As nouns, these two expressions very similar meanings. However, 'human' can also be an adjective, eg a human being, a human emotion. The fuller expression, human being, is often used to distinguish people from animals, eg it's OK to eat animals, but it's not OK to eat human beings.

In most cases, no difference.  When using 'human' as an adjective, it eliminates other members of the animal kingdom:  human experience, human knowledge, human attributes, etc. Philip Joined on Thu, Jun 23 2005 Veteran Member 8,604 At reise er at leve! - H.
