As used in canon:

HaDlu'meH, QuSlu'meH, SuDlu'meH lojmIt Da logh Hop Hut tengchaH. vaj loghDaq lenglaHtaH Humanpu' 
space station Deep Space Nine is the gateway for the exploration, intrigue and enterprise that mark the continuation of the human adventure into space... (S99)

qagh, ro'qegh'Iwchab, targh tIq Sop 'e' lungIl Humanpu' puS 
Few humans dare to eat gagh, rokeg blood pie, or heart of targ. (S21)

SoHvaD pagh vIjatlh, Human.
Human I have nothing to say to you, human. (ENT "Affliction")

N.B. {tera'ngan} "Terran, Earther [Earthling])" is the preferred term - 19 examples to 3 in my notes - no doubt because it's the expected compound with {ngan} "inhabitant".

"'Human rights.' Even the name is racist. The Federation is basically a 'homo sapiens' only club..." (Azetbur being diplomatic, ST6)
