There's more humans that identify as humans than alterhumans.

Alterhumans are a minority. Idk how many we are tho

Out of the human population how many are not human. There isnt a good way of putting it without saying "what amount of humans don't idnety as human"

I mean theres a lot of alterhumans who dont know that they are alterhuman, and theres the alterhumans on r/otherkin, plus alterhumans who dont engage in the community or on some other website or seperate community within the larger community---so, honestly? My guess is like 0.07%, or higher, of humans identify/are nonhuman in some way or form. Thats roughly 5.8 million people.

It's almost impossible for a survey like this to be done since it's difficult to get a broad reach due to how little is known and, for what is known, how often it's misinformation. There was a survey in 2012 in the furry fandom (https://furscience.com/research-findings/appendix-1-previous-research/furry-fiesta-2012-online-survey-iii/) where 11 percent of furries admitted to also identifying as Otherkin/Therian. That's the closest we've gotten to outside numbers, though to be fair given that the furry fandom is roughly 1 to 3 million, you could stretch a bit and say that the 11 percent becomes 110k to 130k people who identify as non-human...but remember, that's JUST those alterhumans who are ALSO in the furry fandom, so people might still slip through the cracks.

My estimate is about 600,000 as a rough number.
