Technically, aren't the Echani a subspecies of human, about as far from us as we are from Neanderthals? I guess it depends on how you define "human".

"The Echani had anatomy similar to humans, but a common feature was that they had light skin, white hair and silver eyes.[3] They exhibited among themselves a remarkable sameness in body type and facial traits" -from Wookiepedia

Being that humans have ridiculously immense variety, I'd say not, though they are near-human. I'm not sure about the whole Neanderthal comparison, it might not be too far off. Not sure what you were getting at though, other than calling me out on semantics.
