You're saying, "I rolled a die. The die came up 1. Therefore, this die probably has a small number of sides."
But "human" is just "what we are". Humans are not "species number 1". So your logic is really like saying, "I rolled a die. The die landed with some symbol on top. Therefore, it probably has a small number of sides."
