A few days back I was thinking about what to say about an article I was reposting, reporting on President Carter's 1991 Valentine's Day address. What I came up with was "most human president". Sure, everybody's genetically human; in that sense it's an on/off switch.
But there's also a constellation of markers for what it means to be human (e.g. social; cooperative; nurturing) as opposed to, say, an orangutan (asocial) or one of countless non-nurturing species where the young have a relatively tiny time window after hatching/birth to get competent at fending for themselves. What it means to be "good at human'ing" is very different from what it looks like to be "good at orangutan'ing" or "good at axalotl'ing". Ticking more boxes means being "more human" than someone who ticks less checkboxes, in that sense.
So, if I say Carter was a superlative human, I mean what he did with his genetic human birthright was exemplary. A model human. He modeled and exemplified things we should aspire to as humans. PJ O'Rourke famously observed "Everybody wants to save the Earth; nobody wants to help Mom do the dishes" (All the Trouble in the World, 1994). Carter helped people do the hands-on work; he personally went out to the build sites and personally swung a hammer.
C.S. Lewis more circuitously alluded to the idea in The Screwtape Letters (1942), in which the titular devil Screwtape extolls the diabiolic doctrine of supporting grandiose causes ("saving the world") from a distance, all while cultivating petty personal contempt and resentments that divide people in day-to-day connection. I think Lewis would have lauded O'Rourke's formulation.

"While many strains of cannabis exist, including sativa, indica and
hybrid, research shows that different strains do not produce different
effects. A more important indicator of effects are the levels of THC
and CBD.
The more THC in a product the greater the risk of experiencing
negative mental and physical health outcomes."
