No, the h is NOT silent in the word human. The h is a breathy throat sound. (Open your mouth and breathe out as you say the h.) H is one of the softer sounding consonants, unlike, for example, D as in dog. So in the word human, it is said as "hu (long u)--man". However, man is spoken as if spelled "men" or "min"-- the a has a very short a sound.
