Human is usually used without a following preposition. Some combinations such as human to and human with are possible in specific meanings, while others are uncommon or nonstandard.
Human normally stands alone as an adjective: human behaviour, human rights. The pattern human to someone means showing kindness or understanding. Human with often introduces a noun that describes a quality or limitation. Combinations such as human in or human after are usually not standard adjective patterns.
