I have a temporary solution for this. Why don't we just write the culture up as we want it to work, and then decide later if it is a offshoot of humanity or something else. Obviously things like dragonmen or centuars would be non human, but elves, dwarves, orcs, and hobbits could be either human or not.
So if non-human is a central part to the concept it will be. Otherwise, it can all be decided as the world evolves.
