According to the definition at http://en.wikipedia.org/:
'A posthuman or post-human is, according to transhumanist
intellectuals, a hypothetical future being "whose basic capacities so radically
exceed those of present humans as to be no longer unambiguously human by our current standards."The difference between the posthuman and other hypothetical sophisticated non-humans is that a posthuman was once a human, either in its lifetime or in the lifetimes of some or all of its direct ancestors.
As such, a prerequisite for a posthuman is a transhuman, the point at which the human being begins surpassing his own limitations, but is still recognisable as a human person or similar.'
