Infrahumanisation is the tacitly held belief that one's ingroup is more human than an outgroup, which is less human. It can also be subjectively defined as a result of group comparison that links with positive in-group bias when the ingroup is seen as fully human in comparison to an out-group that is viewed as lacking humanness. The term was coined by Jacques-Philippe Leyens and colleagues in the early 2000s to distinguish what they argue to be an everyday phenomenon from dehumanisation associated with extreme intergroup violence such as genocide. According to Leyens and colleagues, infrahumanisation arises when people view their ingroup and outgroup as essentially different and accordingly reserve the "human essence" for the ingroup and deny it to the outgroup. Dehumanization can happen in two forms. In one form, people see others as less human (subhuman). In another, they see others as not human at all. Both forms are linked to prejudice and discrimination, and they can overlap in real situations, as seen in extreme ideologies such as the Nazi idea of Untermensch.
