Two questions
Does a person have to be human?
And are all humans people?
Just a couple of interesting questions I guess.

a person is defined as "a human being regarded as an individual." so a person does have to be a human. Similarly, multiple humans are people.

Yes but the definition has "kind of" shifted, a person has a personality, thoughts emotions and can contemplate these, so a person moreso has to be on the level of a human, like how some groups say "animals are people to" they don't mean they are human, just that they are people.
That and in popular fiction where there are non-human sentient species they are called "people" and are regarded as such.
