"Humans now use transhumanism to take on their own personal ideal form, which might include animal forms, half-animal forms, or other forms such as ones from mythology or something of that nature."

Animal forms are usually still humanoid somewhat (think Anthropromorphic animals). Though people sometimes take fully animal forms, but they're the minority of humans, and usually those people just live in Eden due to a complete devotion to nature or feeling that they were always meant to be an animal.

"Due to the colonization of other alien societies and the practice of Doru, the definition of "human" has radically changed. "Human", has become a way to describe a state of being rather than a species. Aliens incorporated into the United Republic are deemed "human" by most, and all factions still retain that they're "human" even if they've changed what they are in search of personal perfection."

I used words like humanoid, and Homo sapien, which are described as being human oftentimes, but that's not it in this case. "Human" has come to describe the Nationality of being born in the U.R.H -- if you were born there or if you're a citizen, you're human. What I meant is biologically, in their very essence, they hadn't evolved past being Homo sapiens, at least genetically speaking. So they're still attracted to humanoids. It's just that due to transhumanism, and the colonization of alien societies, what they refer to as human changed. Just an example of language evolving and ideas of said word evolving also due to the language evolving.
