EqG humans are considered “humans” in canon, but if they and actual Humans (like us) were to coexist, most of them would be viewed as outlandish or alien. Like their pony counterparts, the colour of their skin, hair, and eyes may somewhat vary against their parents’ traits.
 
Furthermore, some of them did receive magic powers, which caused their hair to grow and their ears to become pointy and equine.
 
In light of these, do you view the humans of EqG as “human” as you are, or as something like a cute humanoid race of not-Humans? Or are they like the Gallifreyans and Kryptonians, in that they look Human but are absolutely not Human?

Where in canon have they been called human? If anything canon never actually reveals anything. Twilight never referred to them as her “human friends” and it’s never been put on the spotlight.  
IMO they can be whatever you want. If you want to be like normal people, ayy lmaos or the next step of pony evolution. Nothing really contradicts any of that

“the next step of pony evolution.”  
God no  
The good answer is “copy of Monster High asets” and “a way to use doll models with MLP color plaette sloppily added” btw.It’s too shallow to be anything but that

And what will they be, if they are a physical, living race with their own civilisation? Would they still be “humans”, “humanoids” (like Elves), or “aliens”?

I have one not-so-related question: if you designed the EqG franchise, how would the EqG humans’ civilisation be like?
 
Fantastic (like Minas Tirith or Braavos)?  
Futuristic (like Coruscant or Alderaan)?  
or somewhat modern (like Back in the Future)?

That’s what they were designed to be.Not full pony but not human either. A link between a human world and a pony world. That’s what the character designer said. Anyway I don’t see the MH connection aside that it takes place in high school. The overall style of EG is similar the show, much more than MH.

Aside from the unusual colour scheme, there doesn’t seem to be anything separating them from us, so I really don’t think they’re supposed to be anything other than a stylized representation of humans in the same way as MLP ponies don’t look exactly like real ponies. Then again, EqG has realistic horses, so maybe there’s another world with “natural” skin tones. Still, the colours are the only difference, so I don’t really pay it much mind.

Eh, I prefer magicae, because of the way they seem to be freaking lightning rods for magic. Seriously, every time EqG humans absorb magic, in whatever amount, they jump straight past Princess Twilight into the Sombra/Tirek levels, pumping out superheroes and demigods.

I… guess? If they were flat out horse anthros.
 
I still think they should have the homo genus, because they seem human, just an alternate strand of it.
 
That said, my original name for them is kinda lacking, because while EqG humans have a tendency to become mystical nuclear reactors when exposed to magic, that is nowhere near a common enough occurrence to name their species for. However, one thing that is universally different between EqG humans and real humans is skin color.
 
So with that in mind, I propose we name them homo iridis, or rainbow.
