Reply to comment by ScarTheGoth in Humen is a more logical plural to human than humans. It’s men and women, not mans and womans. by frenglish_man
I think pronunciation is a big part of this. We can look at etymology, but language is a living thing. If “human” were pronounced like “man” we’d probably have “humen”, but it’s not, so humans makes more sense
