The term was first used in the 16th century by the English philosopher Thomas More in his work "Utopia" to describe the inhabitants of the fictional island Utopia who were considered to possess extraordinary intelligence, morality, and physical abilities.
Over time, the meaning of preterhuman has evolved to encompass anything that is beyond the normal capabilities of humans, including supernatural powers, extraordinary intelligence, or superhuman strength. It is often used in science fiction and fantasy literature to describe beings or characters who possess abilities that are beyond the realm of human understanding or experience.
