One can make a case that genius is precisely the degree to which one does not think like a human mind (at least in a more useful and/or beautiful way).
Depends how broadly you're drawing the line around the 'human mind' concept. I'd say that since Shakespeare, Mill and Newton's minds were all human minds, that's a prima facie case for saying they think like humans.
