Ran across a weird (or dumb) bit on Wikipedia today.
Check out en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lydd and scroll to the bottom of the article.
A 'related article', Greatstone-on-Sea, is summarized as a,
Human settlement in England
Now, what other kinds of settlements do we expect to have on our planet? Elven? Would a tribe of chimps in the Congo constitute a Simian settlement in Africa ?
This descriptor is used for English towns as well in the 'related article' summaries.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’

I've heard that term a lot over the years, but never actually thought about it that way 5th! Good Spot.
I suspect that what they mean is that there is evidence of ACTUAL settlement rather than just a transitory presence.
Structures, buildings, trash-middens or fire-pits that were used many many times over many years... that sort of thing, but it is odd that they would feel the need to refer to them as "human" settlements.... hmmm

Yep odd wiki
The definition of " human " is going to be defined maybe soon ? The current covid vaccines seems to create chimeras....something that has new DNA ,which is not anymore as same like in old human DNA . Childs born now with both parents vaccinaned are "different" some say ..
I will watch my 6 once those kids grow up, if they survive ......

Maybe to differentiate between humans and possible settlements of other species?
Perhaps we are getting close to disclosure and maybe the early tidbits could be admission of discovery of ancient extraterrestrial settlements.
One can hope anyway.

Good read. Dunno why it would be classified as a human settlement. I liked these names - "There are several sewers in the area, including Dengemarsh Sewer, Jury's Gut Sewer, and Scotney Petty Sewer."
"Jury's gut Sewer" would be the name and setting for a good horror movie or book. Perhaps it would be where the interned bodies of those 3 dutchmen that were hung as spies in WWII are located.
Your post inspired me to look at my village on Wiki. Nothing that remarkable about 'Nymboida' other that it was named by Gregory Blaxland Jnr. Son of George Blaxland from the fame of the explorers "Blaxland, Wentworth and Lawson" who were the first to cross the Great Dividing Range. Blaxland Jnr was killed by aboriginals at Gin Gin.
Kind regards,

Sure. Elven or Orc. Either way.
It does seem to be redundant.

If they (if actually proved non-human) created settlements. I guess such would be non-human? Some good evidence to suggest, inclusive of DNA, that these were not of this earth.
For your edification,
My kind regards,
